When you share an item across boards using SIMB, the app automatically syncs column values between every board where the item lives. The sync works on a simple rule: a column is synced only when it exists on both boards with exactly the same name and exactly the same column type. If either condition isn’t met, that column is skipped — the item still shares and syncs, but that particular column stays independent on each board.
Supported column types
The following column types sync automatically when the name and type match across boards.

Unsupported column types
Some column types cannot be synced directly by SIMB due to how monday.com constructs their values.
| Column type | Sync status | Notes |
|---|
| Formula | ❌ Not supported | Use the Connected Boards + Mirror workaround instead |
| Mirror | ❌ Not supported | Mirror columns are board-specific by design |
| Connected Boards | ❌ Not supported | Connection logic is local to each board |
| AI columns | ⚠️ Output only | AI output syncs as text data — the AI logic does not re-run on the target board |
Cross-product support
SIMB works across all monday.com products. You can share the same item between Work Management, CRM, and Campaigns boards — even across different workspaces within the same account.
| Column type | Cross-product sync |
|---|
| Text | ✅ |
| Numbers | ✅ |
| Status | ✅ |
| Date | ✅ |
| People | ✅ |
| Dropdown | ✅ |

| Timeline | ✅ |
| Formula | ❌ |
| Mirror | ❌ |
| AI columns | ⚠️ Output only |
Column names are case-sensitive. A column named Priority and a column named priority are treated as different columns and will not sync with each other. Double-check capitalization when setting up columns across boards.
When you share an item manually, open Column Mapping before confirming. Column Mapping shows you a side-by-side preview of which columns will sync and which won’t — and lets you create any missing columns on the destination board in one click.
