Monday.com subitem creation not working properly

:bullseye: What is your goal?

I have a board in Monday.com where each item contains a name and a session date. My requirement is that whenever a new item is created, a subitem should be automatically created with the same name and a populated due date.

Currently, when I run the scenario, the subitem is created successfully and the name is set correctly. However, the due date column in the subitem is not being populated with the date value. I am passing the column ID obtained from the Get Item module, but it does not seem to work for subitems.

I would appreciate expert guidance on why the due date is not updating and how to correctly retrieve and use the column IDs for subitem columns.

PFA snaps of Board.

:thinking: What is the problem & what have you tried?

I have match the column id with the get item

no error

Hello,

Welcome to the Community!

Could you please upload a screenshot of your Monday.com module configuration?

Since you don’t have any errors and the sub-item is created, there’s a 99% chance the problem is with date formatting or passing an empty value.

So please show us your module configuration and, if possible, the module’s input and output data:

remember to blur sensitive data :slight_smile:

Have a nice day,

Hello @mszymkowiak ,

Thanks for your prompt response. Please find the snapshot of create subitem input data:

Also please find the snapshots of Create subitem module configuation.

Wondering the subitem is created but the due date field isn’t populating !

It would be great to know how to get the column id , as in my flow i am not extracting the subitem column id. I am getting the column id of item from the module get item.

Looking forward to response .

Regards,

TJ

Hi Everyone,

For getting the column id, go to profile → monday.labs → Enable Developer mode and you will see the column id of each column. You can use that in creating items/subitems.

In my case i was using the incorrect column id :upside_down_face: .
