Same requirement here! As an long time Airtable fan and paying user, Kanban can only be used for single select field is so inconvienent! Badly need this feature! It’s been 4 years! Plz @VictoriaPlummer

This would be great!


Would like also to have this kind of functionality.
I have to show a kanban view of product backlog features group by product.
very usefull for portfolio management.
Today only workaround I see is to copy as many views as number of product and to embed those views in a specific intranet page.
This features would lead many of my product owners to use airtable to show their product plans

Would be incredibly helpful for me too! I use Airtable to analyze qualitative data. This functionality would enable me to use a Kanban view for affinity mapping, and then have the emergent themes live in a linked table where I could add notes, opportunities, and other context. I could see other UX Researchers benefitting from this structure as well.


PLEASE develop the ability to stack a Kanban view on linked fields as these are crucial to structuring a database. [Without these relationship grouping options the Kanban functionality is severely impeded!].


Adding my +1. This would be super helpful!


+1. Would love this feature.

Do they even read these suggestions? It’s been 4 years!

+1 For this feature. This is a huge roadblock! Also troubling that this hasn’t been addressed, given the obvious interest and need. Not sure how I can justify my workplace paying for this tool if I constantly have to find work arounds AND Airtable is not responsive to customer needs.

+1 This feature would be great to have and seems like it could be accomplished by limiting to single-select linked records.

+1 here too. Missing such basic features while people are asking for it for 4 years doesn’t shed a good light on the product team. There are a lot of other basic product suggestions that would make the usability of the product MUCH better/easier but don’t seem to be of any value to Airtable.

I have been a great fan but I’m actively working on migrating my projects away from Airtable because of the very bad community <> support <> product communication that is happening and the decision to go for “business value” features before making the basic stuff work nicely.

Yes agreed + 1 for this feature. And agreed about Airtable not reading or not paying attention to the little things. Or reading these boards.

+1 Need to be able to use kanban by linked fields


Nov 2016…It’s now July 2021! +1 for this feature. Would love to see a response on this thread for when it will be in the pipeline or why it’s been consistently deprioritized.


Another vote in favor of an essential feature change

My theory- linked record groups in Kanban would allow people used them as a replacement for Collaborators, and then Airtable would lose money

Being able to utilize the linked fields here is feeling like a really big limitation to expand my data. Not sure if votes count… but for what its worth +1 from me…
