SIMB syncs supported columns automatically when they have the exact same name and same column type on both boards. Names are case-sensitive, including capitalization and spaces.
The manual Column Mapping feature has been deprecated. The old mapping preview, Edit / remap controls, and one-click Create column action inside that preview are no longer available. You do not need a mapping step to share an item. Manual item sharing is still available.

Prepare your columns

  1. Open the source and destination boards.
  2. Check the names and types of the columns you want to sync. For example, a Status column named Priority matches another Status column named Priority.
  3. Rename mismatched columns so their names match exactly. Priority and priority do not match. A Text column and a Status column do not match even if their names are identical.
  4. Add any missing columns directly on the destination board with the matching name and type.
A column that is missing, has a different name, or has a different type will not sync. You can keep board-specific columns by leaving them off the other board. Check Supported Columns for column-type limitations. These matching rules apply to manual sharing, the Shared Boards column, automations, and batch actions.

Add a column after items are already shared

Use Share Column to Another Board under the column header’s Column extensions menu to copy a column and its values to a connected board. This is a separate feature from the retired mapping preview. Alternatively, add a column with the same name and type on the destination board. Then open the SIMB board view, filter to Discrepancies, and use Sync Latest to catch up existing values. See Share Column to Another Board and Discrepancy Report for the full steps.

Troubleshoot missing values

  • Compare names on both boards, including capitalization and spaces.
  • Confirm the column types match and are supported.
  • Check column permissions if matching columns still do not sync.
  • Follow Columns not syncing for further checks.
