Obsidian notes can’t appear in every matching group
Obsidian users working in Bases want notes with list-valued properties to appear under each individual value, and some also want to group views by multiple properties. Bases currently treats the list as a whole and does not offer multi-level grouping, leaving views that don’t match how these users organize notes. The requests come from a small cluster on the Obsidian forum, so demand beyond that audience is not yet established.
For obsidian note-takers who organize notes with properties. Mentioned from Dec 2025 to Jan 2026 on product forums.

I don’t need groupings that display ‘all’ the genres it belongs to; I need groupings that display ‘each’ genre it belongs to
I really don’t understand why it doesn’t split the list fields to single values if you wish to group by them
