Continuing the discussion from Calendar View based on Lookup field dates:

Now that Lookup fields work for Calendar Views, please extend this functionality to Kanban View.

My use caseโ€ฆ

I have a base that covers our video content management and review process. Three key tables and fields are:

  1. Table of Videos: Title, Description, etc.
  2. Table of Reviews, including fields for when the last review was, a formula for when the next review is due, and who will do the review.
  3. Table of Account users, including fields for peopleโ€™s name, their role in video content management, email address, and a Collaborator field type named Airtable user. (Most, but not all of the team will have Airtable accounts.)

Iโ€™d like Kanban Views of Videos / Reviews stacked by the Lookup field which references a single Airtable user. Videos / Reviews kanbans would be stacked by each Airtable user assigned. Any Videos / Reviews assigned to team members who arenโ€™t Airtable users would be listed in the Uncategorized stack.

Lookup field extension is a massive feature extension for Calendar Views. Letโ€™s do likewise for Kanban! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Iโ€™d also like to use a lookup field as the grouping on a Kanban View.

I am using a base to manage a product roadmap. Thereโ€™s a table of Features and another table of Release Dates (among other things). Iโ€™d love to use the Kanban View to group features by release date, given that itโ€™s a single-select lookup field.

My workaround at the moment is to create a single-select dropdown that mimics the value of the lookup field.

Hope this is the best way to โ€œvoteโ€!

This. Please. I want to be able to Kanban view attendees by event.

I have a table listing locations, and another table listing site visits. One of the data points for a site visit is the location, and I want to create a Kanban view grouping my site visits by location. To do this, Iโ€™d need to get rid of my location table, and maintain the list of locations in the site visit table, and every other table that references location.

I see this was requested more than a year ago. Is it on the roadmap? Please let us know.

+1 from me.

Lookup fields are critical to creating good normalised structure and the kanban view is a great way to visualise these into groups.

+1 as well, super interested in this feature, itโ€™d allow us to have Trello like views, itโ€™d be grand!

This would be great, and Iโ€™m not quite sure why we canโ€™t do it? I have a linked field (actually from a synced base) that relies on a single select status field.

I do not want to double enter my statuses. I do need to keep my statuses up to date, as theyโ€™re the field I want to show to my developers so I can use this view to keep them on track for deliverables.

Does anyone have a workaround?
