Although the **Formula column** is still not fully supported by the Same Item Multiple Boards app, there’s a **simple workaround** that lets you transfer formula results between boards automatically using the **Connected Boards** and **Mirror** columns.

## 1️⃣ Add a “Connected Boards” column
📍 *On your target board (the one that should receive the formula result):*
* Add a **Connected Boards** column.
* Connect it to the **source board** where the Formula column exists.
* Add a **Mirror** column and select the **Formula** column from the source board as the data to mirror.

## 2️⃣ Set up the automation
📍 *Go to the board where you want to mirror the formula:*
* Click **Automate → Templates** and search for **“connect”**.
* Choose the recipe:“When column changes, connect the item where this column matches another column in another board.”
* For the trigger, select a column you update frequently (e.g., **Status**).
* Match items based on a shared identifier — typically the **Name** column.
* Confirm that both boards are connected correctly and save your automation.
🖼️ *Screenshot:* show the selected automation recipe with the Name column mapping.

## 3️⃣ Test your setup
* Change the trigger column (for example, set **Status** to “Done”).
* This will activate the automation and connect the matching item in the other board.
* Check the **Mirror** column — the **Formula result** should now appear automatically!

💡 **Tips**
* Use a column you update often (like Status) to ensure your automation triggers reliably.
* Periodically review your automation logic to confirm it’s still connecting items as expected.

✅ Once this setup is complete, the formula result from one board will automatically appear on another letting you view and use the calculated values without manual updates.
