Are these studs enough?

Is it necessary to fill before tiling? A few mm level difference can be compensated with the adhesive, right?

Do you need to putty if you're going to tile? A few mm level difference can be compensated for with the adhesive, right?

I wouldn't have puttied either but resolved it with the adhesive. A couple of mm is no problem to resolve with adhesive.

Did you set any studs in the seam?

No, I didn't do that. It hasn't been done on the other drywall pieces before. Strong studs, 4 pieces that run vertically with 2 pieces about 500 mm apart and one with 250 mm apart.
What happens if I haven't done it now?
The board even feels more stable than the old one.

Since the boards don't have support behind the joints, there's a high risk of cracking (the surface layer) when they can move freely. Typically, a loose wooden piece is screwed into the joint so the board pieces stay together

Since the panels don't have support behind the joints, there is a high risk of cracking (the surface layer) when they can move freely. Usually, you just screw a loose piece of wood at the joint so the panel pieces hold together

Can I redo the whole thing? Remove the screws and buy a new drywall panel? Probably shouldn't have listened to my son‍♀️

Yes, just loosen the screws, place the supports behind, and reattach the same drywall. Just don't screw into the same holes and it'll be fine.

Next time, also try to get the screws a bit deeper into the drywall; it looks from the picture like you could drive them in a couple more mm so they don't protrude from the drywall.

I will try that then with the same drywall and just buy something that can be used as studs.
I understand that one can use a smaller dimension than the robust ones that run vertically?
At least now I know how to do it. Very grateful

You don't need to have studs of the same dimension but find something at the local hardware store that seems good. This is a stud that would work and is not too expensive and easy to fit in the car as it is not very long.

Great! We are going to Byggmax. Better to redo it correctly so there won't be any issues later with tiles etc. Thank you for your help!
There will probably be more questions in the forum in the future.

These studs can be found at all hardware stores (not just Byggmax), I just picked one so you could see which I meant.

If you want, you can upload a picture here once you've installed the studs and before the plasterboard, so there won't be any more misunderstandings.

Just wanted to check to be sure. I'm not sure if I was clear about it in my first post. Does this also apply to the studs if you're going to put up tiles later?

I would have done it to be on the safe side so that the drywall doesn't move and the grout cracks. It's not that much time/effort/money to get it right, and then you're on the safe side.

It's enough to place a few scraps right over the seams so it doesn't flex too much.

As for the screws, you should not drive them in so far that the paper tears. If you don't have the right fingertip feeling, it's better to drive them in a little too little. They will still be covered by the tiles later.

Ok, different variations. Thanks for the clear picture! Will redo anyway, unscrew the board, buy a new one, IF the existing one gets too damaged.
