Kanban view isn't working

WHAT IS THE BUG

The Kanban view is not working at all on Anytype version 0.30.0 windows.
When using Kanban view on any set it just shows ad empty page with nothing in it.
(In addition to that I can’t view the Kanban View as grid on any version of the android app (clicking on the text saying “See it as grid view” just makes a message saying “This view is not supported on Android yet.”))

HOW TO REPRODUCE IT

  1. Go to any set of any type
  2. Click on the settings button
  3. Choose “View”
  4. Change the “View as” selection to “Kanban”.
  5. See that it shows an empty page.
    Here’s a video capture of the bug:

and, about the Android part of the bug:

THE EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

The app should show the Kanban view on desktop and the Android app should provide an alternative (Grid view), until the Kanban view wil be available there too.

Hello! Are you sure that you have anything checked in the “Groups” tab? I also use Windows version and don’t experience any problems with the Kanban view. Although it does look empty if I uncheck all groups.

I am backing this question, my software updated and I am now missing everything I previously had in my Kanban.
It seems some of my relations from some other kanban board have become “Groups” and everything which is not these “Groups”, which I don’t know how to add to or remove from, will not appear as a column in the kanban view.
I wish to understand, in this new update, how to add and edit Groups (or whatever other thing I need to do) to have my kanban board back.

To clarify:
I used to have a bunch of columns detailing the pipeline of creating a 3D model, under each one I had an object I could click on to enter details on the step (what are the requirements, what software to use, links to guides etc). I also had objects I would shuffe around, each one it’s own project and had details on the state and details of each model.
Now, after the update. All my columns are gone, and these Groups, which are the columns, are none of the categories I had before and instead came from a different kanban board of a different nature but for 2D digital paintings.
The other board for 2D paintings is behaving normally.

What I want
Is to be able to edit these groups to have my kanban board back the way I want it.

Someone on the telegram group found the source of the issue more precisely here’s what they wrote:

Hi !
Any issues with kanban view ? When I try to view tasks in a kanban board, it works only if I group with default properties but not with custom ones. For example, if I use the “status” original relation, no problem. But if I add a custom “my status” new status relation, and that I fill this new status in my tasks, the kanban Will display the columns but no tasks !
Any ideas ?

Hope someone from the team will be able to help and solve this issue (+ solving the android issue will be greatly appreciated too :slight_smile: )

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for sharing that @Amit.

Our @Product_Team can say more than I, but the Kanban view has been something of a work in progress since it was released. I agree, it definitely needs to be better optimized before Public Beta.

WHAT IS THE BUG

Status relations not recognized in kanban board.
Only status shown is “No value”

HOW TO REPRODUCE IT

  1. Create new set for object that has relations of status type
  2. Set view to kanban
  3. Set group by to the status relation
  4. Only group shown is “no value”
  5. Row is empty though because all object has something set in that status relation

THE EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

Groups/Rows appear for every status
Objects with that status are shown in that row

SYSTEM INFORMATION

  • OS:
    Windows 11
  • Device:
    Custom PC
  • Anytype Version:
    0.31.0 (already happend in 0.30.0, but thought is read something about this being fixed in this release)

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

I try to use this feature to add statuses to objects and have a clear overview of all my objects in the different lanes. As far as I remember this used to work before, as I had “read status” attached to blogs/articles.

In this example I try to have lanes with games and my current playing state.
