Mirror

Learn how to read the mirror column on monday boards using the platform API

The mirror column shows a column value from another board through a linked item, allowing you to make changes to multiple boards simultaneously. You can read the mirror column via the API, but you cannot filter, update, or clear it. You may see some unexpected and inconsistent results if you try to set up filter rules for mirrored content.

Read the mirror column

You can query the mirror column using the column_values object, or use the MirrorValue type to return column-specific fields.

If you want to get mirrored column values, use the display_value field on the MirrorValue type. The text field will always return null. 

query {
  items (ids:[1234567890, 9876543210]) {
    column_values {
      ... on MirrorValue {
        display_value
        id
      }
    }
  }
}

🚧

Use the display_value field to read mirror columns

If you want to read values from mirrored columns, you must add the following fragment to your query: ...on MirrorValue { display_value }
