Kanban grouping using link fields

[Neil_Watson]

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

Hilarious. I just posted a very similar feature request — see my linked post below.

This is absolutely one of the biggest drawbacks & biggest limitations in using Airtable — yet it applies to ALL VIEWS, not just Kanban views!! It is a major problem with the entire Airtable platform, and I really wish that the Airtable engineers would prioritize this.

If I was an engineer working on Airtable, this would be my #1 priority.

When grouping records, be able to sort by summary fields Product Suggestions

Agreed. I have a situation where I have records grouped by Project Name, but would like these groups sorted by a different record associated with each project (in my case, “date started”.) This way my most recently started project is at the top of the list. Alphabetical sorting doesn’t help me.

Mark me down for an up vote too. It doesn’t really make sense to have the single select functionality, but not have single record linked tables as an option. Isn’t that the benefit of Airtables?

Try Matrix Block. It may work.

I’ve just created an account, and this is my first blocking issue.

In addition to this thought. I would also like to add the request to be able to actually ‘Group’ by columns, therefore creating multiple collapsable kanban’s in a single view if that makes sense.

For example if I have a linked column for ‘client or account’ the only way to come close to this functionality is use the filter method then that restricts me to 1) only seeing a single client at a time 2) remembering all clients to filter by 3) not being able to see where each clients tasks are in their kanban grouped on top of each other, if that makes sense? :slightly_smiling_face: Of course we can use the group method on a regular grid view to create a similar effect but it’s not exactly the same ‘kanban’ style experience.

Hope this helps!

+1 blocking issue for switching to this platform.

I need to allow users backend access their own user data through these views by filtering and grouping by username. I cannot believe that this capability is not available. Am i missing something here, are we suppose to use blocks or something else for this?
