Sync Roadmaps data to whiteboards

Use case: I want to convey early ideas and plans in a whiteboard and then sync my whiteboard objects as real Roadmaps data to keep them up to date.

Idea: Allow the option to sync Roadmaps data to and from a whiteboard.

    I want the data sync between the whiteboard and roadmap items to be a two-way sync. That would support my organization's use case. We use a whiteboard for early roadmap planning. We add both placeholders and existing work items (epics/features) to the whiteboard roadmap. If we move an existing epic/feature from this quarter to the next quarter on the whiteboard, we want the epic/feature's start and end dates to automatically update to the next quarter. The whiteboard visually shows the work in the next quarter, but the start and end date values for the epic/feature are still set for this quarter (which is no longer correct). It's tedious extra work to manually change the start and end date values on every epic/feature moved around the whiteboard. This mean our roadmap reports are wrong because those start and end dates are not always manually updated. That forces us to use only the roadmap whiteboard and we can't take advantage of roadmap reports.

    this would help us get more value out of whiteboards as well, although the picture I have in my head is more one of 1. getting the roadmap view nailed down in Aha! Roadmaps, 2. sharing that roadmap to a whiteboard in a way that is similar to sharing to an Aha! Presentation (where it can stay up-to-date).

    I agree with this idea.

    I sometimes want to integrate content exported from different lists in the same whiteboard (for example a list of epics and a list of features, or two different list of features each having their own filters, etc.).

    Therefore I would like a way, from an existing whiteboard, to integrate new aha records.

    One example use case would be that I spend a lot of time customizing a specific view of my roadmap (I edit the whiteboard visuals to make it look pretty, to show the relevant info, etc.). And then, two weeks later, I want to reuse that same layout but with the changes that could have happened in the roadmap in between (maybe the list of features has changed, etc.). So if I could integrate aha records in that existing whiteboard, I could simply add the missing pieces via a copy/paste or something like that but now it seems I'll have to create everything over again...
