Is this something that is possible? I’m feeling limited by only being able to group by 3 criteria.

I fell in love with Airtable because of the multi-level grouping feature…
And now that I actually try to move in and move my data from Excel to Airtable, I find this stupid limitationWhat??

In Excel I can group data by as much levels as I want, but then it’s with a Pivot Table and that is considered a “report”, so I can only view my data and not edit them… → Annoying.
So you need to work in 2 tabs simultanously: one for editing, one for viewing…

Now I move to Airtable and I get the suggestion… “Why not use a Pivot Table?”

For Christ’s sake… - I hate Pivot Tables!

Just give us unlimited levels of grouping. Or, like… At least 10 levels.

Thanks!

Can we get grouping to 4 levels in 2023?

From a project management viewpoint... limiting to 3 grouping fields when needing to see hierarchy relationships mid-convo with very technical developers and engineering is critical. This helps foster good convo. I need to see this hierarchy... if you cant deliver this Airtable then can you build us an extension that can? At least give us 10 (I'll even be grateful for 5), but I dont believe any good project plan would/should exceed 10
