Kanban grouping using link fields

Is there any way to use link fields for kanban stacks. It appears that only single select fields can be used, but I would like to use a grouping field that is a lookup to another table. As a simple example, I have a location field, which is a lookup field to another table, defining locations. I would like to use that as the grouping field in a kanban view. It looks as though the only option I have currently is to duplicate the field with a single select field, and then find a way to keep both in sync?

Many thanks for any help

Neil

+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

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.
