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

+1 for using Linked Fields in the Kanban View – Please help us Airtable!

Any development here @Airtable_Admin1 or others? This is really problematic as we have to maintain a “Single Select” duplicate of our Link to Records column which increases margin of error substantially. The main reason we use airtable over others is for the data relationships and removal of manual redundancy.

+1 to single select getting its data from a linked table. Kanban grouping would be the most obvious application, but I’m sure there would be others.

While you’re at it, if that “get” of the data from the linked table could be filtered based on the value of some column in the current table… that would make the general feature twice as useful. i.e. don’t show the data-enterer the values that aren’t relevant for the particular row they’re entering.

+1 for this functionality – This would be a game changer!

plus 1 here. I just started creating my first project based on a modified template and hit this limitation right away.

Yes please and for all the reasons already stated.

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

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.
