Automate repetitive data entry across columns and reduce manual work.

 Transferring values from one column to another manually isn’t just time-consuming—it introduces errors and inefficiencies. As boards grow in complexity, repetitive tasks like copying status updates or numerical values become tedious and error-prone.

Why It Matters

Automating copy-paste logic between columns speeds up workflows and reduces the cognitive load on your team. Instead of chasing down inconsistencies, your boards stay accurate and consistent—automatically.

Real-Life Use Cases

• Project management: Automatically copy deadlines into different teams’ custom columns
  
• Sales operations: Copy lead status and source to unified CRM fields
  
• Support teams: Duplicate resolution notes into customer-facing updates
  
• Finance: Merge multiple budget input fields into a central cost estimate column
