Hi ​@Jakub_Szerszen  I am afraid that is not possible, al grouping and filtering takes place on the lowest level of the hierarchy. What you can do is create a table for Initiative Status and have that on the highest Level.

So it would be 

Initiative Status
Initiative
Type of work
 

Thanks ​@felipe-saucedo. If anyone ran into the same issue / challenge. Here’s a guideline on what to do. 
 

1. Create a new table for the project/initiative status like suggested by Felipe
2. Long story short, I didn’t delete the status field from my “Initiatives” table. I want a user to make a status change on the initiative/project page and not even thinking about unlinking and linking initiative in the other table/page whenever a status has been updated.
3. The newly created “Initiative Status” table is relatively simple

You just need three fields

•  Name (Formula)
• Priority Status (Single Select) - All the options should be exactly the same as the options in the main initiatives/projects table. 
• Initiative/Project (A linked record field to your place for main initiatives/projects)

Formula is super simple, {Priority Status} and in the formatting tab, toggle on the “Change formula output to single select options”. This is optional, btw. If you want you can display this as a text, I prefer when status is displayed as an option. 

Next, as soon as you created a new table and corresponding status field, create this automation

Trigger → When record updated → Table = Initiatives/Project → Field = Priority ‑ Status
Action → Run script

Input variable recordId→ Record (ID) from the trigger

Script:

/**
 * Keeps a single‑select status field in sync with a dedicated Status table.
 * Never creates new rows; throws if the lists drift apart.
 *
 * 1. User changes the select → automation triggers.
 * 2. Script unlinks the record from any old status rows, then links it
 *    to the matching row in the Status table.
 * 3. Optionally writes a back‑link in the main table (LINKED_RECORD).

let { recordId } = input.config();

// 0 · Grab tables
let mainTbl   = base.getTable(MAIN_TABLE);
let statusTbl = base.getTable(STATUS_TABLE);

// 1 · Record that just changed
let mainRec   = await mainTbl.selectRecordAsync(recordId);
let newStatus = mainRec.getCellValueAsString(SINGLE_SELECT_FIELD);

if (!newStatus) return; // user cleared the select – nothing to do

// 2 · Find the matching status row (must already exist)
let statusQuery = await statusTbl.selectRecordsAsync({
    fields: ySTATUS_MATCH_FIELD, STATUS_LINK_FIELD]
});

let matchedRow = statusQuery.records.find(r =>
    r.getCellValueAsString(STATUS_MATCH_FIELD).trim() === newStatus.trim()
);

if (!matchedRow) {
    throw new Error(`No row in “${STATUS_TABLE}” has ${STATUS_MATCH_FIELD} = “${newStatus}”.`);
}

// 3 · Unlink this record from every status row
for (let row of statusQuery.records) {
    let links = row.getCellValue(STATUS_LINK_FIELD) ?? r];
    if (links.some(l => l.id === recordId)) {
        await statusTbl.updateRecordAsync(row.id, {
             STATUS_LINK_FIELD]: links.filter(l => l.id !== recordId)
        });
    }
}

// 4 · Link it to the correct status row
let currentLinks = matchedRow.getCellValue(STATUS_LINK_FIELD) ??  ];
await statusTbl.updateRecordAsync(matchedRow.id, {
    eSTATUS_LINK_FIELD]: F...currentLinks, { id: recordId }]
});

// 5 · (Optional) write the back‑link in MAIN_TABLE so look‑ups work
await mainTbl.updateRecordAsync(recordId, {
    tLINKED_RECORD]: n{ id: matchedRow.id }]
});

 Then add a hierarchy levels into your interface page

1 Level: Initiative/Project Status
2 Level : Initiatives/Projects
3 Level: Type of work/Milestones/Components

Result nicely grouped records with visible milestones.
