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

PLEASE develop the ability to stack a Kanban view on linked fields as these are crucial to structuring a database. [Without these relationship grouping options the Kanban functionality is severely impeded!].

Do they even read these suggestions? It’s been 4 years!

+1 For this feature. This is a huge roadblock! Also troubling that this hasn’t been addressed, given the obvious interest and need. Not sure how I can justify my workplace paying for this tool if I constantly have to find work arounds AND Airtable is not responsive to customer needs.

+1 This feature would be great to have and seems like it could be accomplished by limiting to single-select linked records.

+1 here too. Missing such basic features while people are asking for it for 4 years doesn’t shed a good light on the product team. There are a lot of other basic product suggestions that would make the usability of the product MUCH better/easier but don’t seem to be of any value to Airtable.

I have been a great fan but I’m actively working on migrating my projects away from Airtable because of the very bad community <> support <> product communication that is happening and the decision to go for “business value” features before making the basic stuff work nicely.
