Hi monday.com dev community ๐ย
Sharing a newย app from LupApps:ย Column Clone & Sync
THE PROBLEM
Formula, Mirror, Timeline, and Connected Boards columns hold critical data โ but monday.com locks them out of automations.
You can't select a Formula column in the automation builder. Mirror is read-only. Timeline dates can't split into separate columns natively.
The Workflow Builder now supports some of these scenarios, but Pro accounts are limited to 5 workflows โ and building a full workflow just to make one column value usable doesn't scale. ย ย
ย
OUR APPROACH
ย
CCS is built as a column extension โ not an automation. Click the three dots on any column header โ Apps โ Column Clone & Sync โ pick your source โ done.
No workflow builder. No automation recipes. No operations cost.
ย
Setup takes ~5 seconds.
ย
WHAT CCS COVERS
-
33 source column types โ 9 target types
-
Formula โ Date, Numbers, Text, Status โ results where you actually need them
-
Mirror โ all 9 target types โ no more read-only dead ends
-
Timeline โ separate Date columns โ start & end split instantly
-
Connected Boards โ Text
-

ย
TECHNICAL DETAILS

Column extension architecture (not board-level automation)
-
Event-driven sync (no polling)
-
Runs fully inside monday.com infrastructure โ no external data processing

Weโd love feedback from other builders โ especially around edge cases in column type conversions.
