Mirror Columns

Copying from a mirror copies the first items value, except number columns which copies the visible value of the column. Copying to a mirror, only the first connected item is copied to. There are plans to improve this situation in a future release.

It is not possible at this time to trigger copies of changes in mirror columns. Though you may be able to work around it with certain monday.com built-in automation templates.

Special Columns

A number of column types cannot be selected with a normal column selection, such as Name, Creation Log, Last Updated, Item ID, and Integration columns. There are special templates for copying "special columns".

Integration columns are a special type used by some monday.com integrations such as Salesforce to store a unique ID. These columns cannot be modified once written to, but we can copy them because sometimes they contain email addresses or similar. Support varies by integration.

Subitems

Copying columns on subitems is limited to automation templates with the "when column changes" trigger at this time. 

There are additional triggers supported for subitems that were recently added by monday.com and we intend to implement support for them in the future.
