Kanban grouping using link fields

This is a must, as organizations stack tasks in many different ways. I was trying to stack, for example

• product releases by month,
• content publication by week day
• efforts by product
  etc

yea this would be a pretty awesome feature to add.

Yep, definitely important. We’re playing around with the trial version of Pro right now and a little miffed that we can’t both 1) link the Assignee column of a project task worksheet to a separate staff worksheet and 2) create a Kanban view with one stack for each staff member. A little surprising given all of the other functionalities of Airtable!

It will be really help full to my department organisation if I could specify kanban value chain based on a linked field or lookup field.

I’ve just discover airtable new week and all my team activities (Digital Learning instructional design, production, deployment, bug & issues tracking) and budget are now configured in a base.
Thank a lot for this amazing tool, it only remains for me to present to my boss airtable to create a purchase order !

+1 here. What’s the point of hiding referential integrity for us if we can’t access joined tables?

+1 here as well. I would love to see this added.

+1 here. Seems like this would be easy to implement, no? 2 years later and no word… sad.

+1 This would definitely increase my ability to use the kanban view feature more often in my bases

SIgned up with airtable, fell in love with the idea, but day 1 immediately ran into this issue. There is so much more potential for Kan Ban besides the typical stacking by status use case. Major bummer. Currently I want to stack certain events by vendor, but the vendor list should be a table not a single select.

+1 It really makes sense for single reference Link Fields

+1

Me too please! Would like it for a jobs > tasks hierarchy. I realise you can group and view in the parent table but would prefer to be able to mess around with the Kanban views.

+1 - Use case: Sprints in one table, stories in another.

+1 for grouping by single reference link fields. Prevents me from using an otherwise great product.

The ability to “group” is most likely the reason Airtable haven’t implement the kanban for linked records.

Very useful. Please do.

In this use case auto-collapsing empty stacks would be useful.

Can’t believe this or the ability to use link record or lookup for single select dropdowns. The ONLY thing keeping us from using Airtable for operations, CRM, and project management.

+1 Would love this feature!

Really need this feature

I would like this feature, too.

Very important feature.

For me the main thing about airtable is the kanban view, linked to table
Because this feature is missing, I need to choose between

• kanban
• stats (rollup per category)

If I choose for stats without kanban, I can just use excel.

If I choose for kanban without stats, I am very lacking and would need to use excel anyway.
This is a serious lack of functionality for me.
And it would mean a lot of juggling to keep both in sync, which may introduce errors.
So not an option.

Please add this.

I was also surprised to see this feature wasn’t already available. I would like to create stacks of Projects, stacked by Client and then sorted by Due Date in order to track planned social media post content that is in development, and easily determine which items to work on next for each client. This seems like a big breakdown in what is otherwise a main selling point of Airtable - the flexibility to access and present the same data in different configurations and for different purposes. The inability to organize the Kanban view by linked fields effectively segregates it from the whole.

I was building my sales pipeline and the natural way to stack it for me was a linked field… and since there are other values related to the opportunity stage it would be a very valuable feature!

Another vote for this feature please. This is a natural extension any user is going to want to do, and I honestly can’t understand why it wasn’t just baked in in the first place.

Please it’s time to do it :sunny: !

I need also to create Kanban stacked from linked record (and other field like text). Yes it could lead to huge Kanbans ! But it’s our problem not yours :winking_face:

This is really needed! Can’t use integromat for such simple use cases…

For this we need:

1. Either make select fields based on formula.
2. Make gant charts based on formula/linked fields
