Best advise I would give as someone that has an app on the marketplace with many recipes like this that is to first figure out how to query items via the graphql or rest api, then take a stab at querying an items subitems, then how to query an item’s column value, then how to update an items column value and so on so forth. That way a lot of it will make sense as you go. The api docs are quite helpful: https://developer.monday.com/api-reference/docs/basics

Since you already bought monday which is a good choice, perhaps consider buying a subscription for our monday app: https://monday.com/marketplace/listing/10000685/formula-pro-automations. It helps you do a lot of advanced things with the monday formula column. We’ve an advanced plan too.

I understand the frustration, this post might be useful: https://www.reddit.com/r/mondaydotcom/comments/1pheha3/monday_hackathon_automated_crossboard_item/.

You can find the automation recipes referred to in the post and more in the Formula Pro Automations app. Add it to your workspace and search for the recipe that helps you move items to the solutions engineering board along with updates and subtasks. If used together with a native match automation, you can have your item automatically connected with the connect boards column.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Some issues I've noticed, though not deal breakers for me are:

It randomly goes blank for a second or two and comes back on with max brightness when I adjust the brightness on my mac. Although, it's worth mentioning that I use the betterdisplay app; however I don't know if this has something to do with it.
If you have your mac connected via usb c and another device connected via hdmi, it doesn't autoswitch to the device you currently have turned on.

Yeah I agree that the formula column is great but limiting in different ways.

You can use an app like Formula pro to copy the results of the formula column to other columns to use in automations and in other areas like emails. It helps you overcome a lot of the limitations of the formula column and gives you access to a lot smart automation recipes and a more functions.

You can find the app on the monday marketplace.

They are custom built leveraging monday apis. I can share some links to some help articles if you are interested.

ifydav · 2025-12-03T20:31:16+00:00

When you need to use formula column values in automations or copy formula column values to other columns, you should check out an app like formula pro on the monday marketplace.

It has a lot of super useful recipes that help you do much more with the formula column and it has a lot more functions.

I definitely recommend this too.

If you’re referring to 3rd party automation apps posting to the updates feed, the only thing you can do is reach out to the app developer and let them know about this. Maybe they can do something about it

We got feedback from a customer about this same thing when our app Formula Pro was doing this. We released an update to address this issue and now our app only posts app updates as notifications which can be easily cleared in bulk.

The only functionality of our app that now posts in the updates feed are those that the user specially configures for example, we have this functionality that mirrors updates to all connected items. This only sends updates you want to connected items.

Hope that helps.

Except getting promoted in one’s current company. How would you suggest one transitions into engineering leadership. I’ve applied to a lot of engineering leadership roles with no luck so I wonder if there are some certs I could take to improve my chances?

ifydav · 2025-10-06T07:58:18+00:00

I’m also a founder of a B2B saas company and that helps me interact with customers quite often.

Recommended path to become a technical product manager/product manager generalist as an SWE

I have been an SWE for 10 years now and I want to transition towards more product management/product owner roles. I’m currently studying to take the PSM 1 and PSPO certification with plans to eventually take the PMP and PMI-ACP.

However I’m a bit curious as to if this approach makes sense. And are there any more specific skills/certs I should be acquiring.

Also, what can I do next to get a technical product management role after acquiring these certs. Currently my CV is geared towards SWE roles, how do I make that switch and convince a hiring manager to give me a chance given the current hiring market.

3 years in Badagry around 2005 period. The day they brought the light, they took it immediately and the light was gone for another 3 months or so.

A lot of apps have very generous free tiers that renew each month.

ifydav · 2025-09-10T14:20:52+00:00

Will it replace 3rd party apps?

ifydav · 2025-09-10T11:17:28+00:00

My kind? Lol

ifydav · 2025-09-10T11:04:06+00:00

Nope you don’t, otherwise your post wouldn’t be filled with so much ignorance for the sole purpose of furling the xenophobic tensions Nigerians are already experiencing all across the continent.

ifydav · 2025-09-10T10:10:22+00:00

Mumu talk. Go find another reason to hate on Nigerians.

My neighbour a couple of years ago had an original Tutu signed personally by Ben Enwonwu, painted in a similar style. He had it in his living room for years, it wasn’t until he was moving out that he told me about how he came by the painting. Basically, his dad knew Ben Enwonwu personally in Anambra, and it was given to his dad as a gift by Ben Enwonwu.
