Has this issue still not yet been solved? Is there a different way to help bump this up their product backlog?

Yes Kanbans are completely unusable. Two things:

1. Make the titles smaller and WRAP PLEASE! it only fits 3-4 words

2. Don't show field titles on the cards.

The problem with Airtable Kanban is that all data fields must be arranged in rows!

My Kanban cards have several small data fields which could easily fit next to each other. This would save heaps of space.

Please make the Kanban board modifiable by layout, similar to how the "Form" designer works. 

Oh, and also: When you press your kanban card ("entering" the card), you probably want to show more info than what is shown on the card. But right now, any data that is hidden on the card is also hidden when entering the card. This is stupid, you should have a separate designer for what is shown when entering the card.

Wanted to share an update hereĀ  kanban cards now have a "Wrap long cell values" toggle that gives you more control over how content displays on cards. When it's on, longer text wraps to the next line and is fully visible.

One thing to flag: linked record pills still truncate even with wrapping enabled. We're working on a fix for that.If you need the compact title-only view with the ability to toggle into more detail, Custom Interface Extensions let you build exactly that kind of interaction.
