When creating a new folder from a template that includes a whiteboard connected to tasks within a task list, the whiteboard in the new folder currently remains linked to the original (template) tasks. This requires manual relinking of each whiteboard item to the newly created tasks in the new folder’s task list.
It would be extremely helpful if ClickUp could automatically remap or relink the whiteboard’s connected tasks to the new tasks generated by the template process. This would save significant manual effort, ensure accuracy, and streamline onboarding or project setup workflows that rely on templates with visual task mapping.
Ideal Behavior:
When a folder template containing a whiteboard and a task list is used to create a new folder, the whiteboard in the new folder should automatically connect to the corresponding new tasks in the new task list (not the original template tasks).
This would allow teams to use whiteboard-driven workflows at scale, without needing to manually update connections every time a new project or client folder is created.
Use Case Example:
A client onboarding template includes a whiteboard that visually maps out the process and links to each step’s task. When a new client folder is created from this template, the whiteboard should automatically link to the new client’s tasks, not the template’s tasks.
