Update multiple items with the same name - monday

Hello, I am trying to do this automation, but in the last step it fails:
Monitor changes in a specific column of Board A and automatically update the corresponding column in all items with the same name in Board B.

For some reason, it does not allow me to map “name” as the general identifier for item names. I don’t want to specify a particular item; I want all items with the same name to be updated.

Thanks.

Hello! thank you very much.

This is the module that fails:

Hi @jose2023

We could see that you have mapped the date variable which is of collection data type.

Instead, please map the variable inside the date field. Say, one step down you can text or value inside it.

Also, apply parseDate() function to input the value with proper date type.

Hello again, thank you so much for all your help.

I don’t see a date variable one step down.

Additionally, I have never used the parseDate() function before, sorry. Is it correct as I have implemented it in the attached image?

This error is in the last module of my scenario (Update column values of a specific item).

Hey @jose2023

Sorry for the confusion. We noticed that the scenario workflow used by make AI is the issue but not the mapping of date. Please note “make AI gives very basic structure of the flow based on the names of modules but not their functioning that can be wrong mostly”

Below is the blueprint attached for your need. Please download that and import in your scenario and add the connection and set the limit to a higher value in search module.
