In our context each User (Entity) belongs to Firm (entity) and each Firm has a category (single select field). We would like to be able to have a smart folder “Category → Firm → User”. As a parallel - we can already use single select fields as Columns on a Board. ---

Yes, it would be useful if we could treat Single Selects as first-class Types. ---

I think @mdubakov has already said that under the hood single select fields are basically entity types. What is needed is a mechanism for converting a single select into a relation field and adding the entity type to the app. That would be really amazing. ---

Unlike the Board view, hierarchical views are set up from the top to the bottom levels, so single selects are not available here intentionally. I guess people have a lot of single selects, and displaying all of them in the top-level selector will completely clutter it. All these setup screens are complicated enough (by the reason, of course), and I wouldn’t like to make it worse. I like the idea of instant converting single selects to real Types (internally we call them domain Types), but we don’t have it yet. ---
