Viewing connection hierarchies in both directions

Freyr Gudmundson July 7, 2025

If I understood the connections concept I should be able to visualize the connections in any direction. There is no real parent or child relationship.

When I try this with a simple board view it does not seem to work:

  1. Types: Initiative, Phase
  2. Connection fields: Initiatives, Phases
  3. Created one initiative with 3 phases
  4. Roadmap board with Now Next Later.
  5. Initiative board: filter by type Initiative, filter by Phases "group by column" -> works
  6. Phase board: filter by type Phase, filter by Initiatives "group by column" -> doesn't work

In the Initiative board I see the Phases as sub items on the card. I would expect to see the same structure reversed in the Phase board. I've tried reducing the simplicity down to nearly zero, but can't make it work.

Is my assumption correct, this should work? Or did I misunderstand the feature.

Hi! I read your question a few times and still not sure I get it. 

Here's me trying stuff along those lines, let me know what's what and I can try to create a set up for you to reproduce!
