How to add a template to frame with the API ?

Hi @Pierre Jannez ,

could you please describe a bit more what you would like to see / do in your board.

Of course it is possible to create a board full of frames and one of them is a Kanban and then save the whole board as template …

So what do you like to do / create with it?

Michael

Hi Michael,

I would like to create a JavaScript app to build a standard visual management split into frames. One of them including a kanban template. I did’nt find a way to access template from the API as we can do with regular widget like cards for example. 
With this app I would like to build in one click my visual management. 
Best Regards

Pierre

Hi Boris, can you provide access to that part of the API? I would love to have the ‘duplicate’ board feature in the API. 

Hi there @Boris Borodyansky, 

Is there a way to create new boards based on a Template or duplicate boards via the API? We currently have a need for bulk-creation of boards based on templates.

You mentioned that this is currently not possible from the public API. 

Hello @Boris Borodyansky, 

Can you please provide access to the copy method of that API. I was trying to copy widgets but it has its limitations and it seems, that I cannot use the same raw body that I get when requesting the “template widgets”.

Problems that I had for trying to copy a few widgets:

• scale is an unpermitted param for type “text”
• backgroundColor in style has the value “#ffffffff”, which is not permitted, because it has 8 Fs
• shapeType in style is not allowed for type “text”
• I cannot copy an emoji widget

As a workaround I deleted the keys where an error occurred and the creation of the widgets works now, but I can’t be sure if it will work when other people will create new templates.
