Group By view type field doesn't seem to work

This is currently something like a bug in views. The problem is that there is no way to disable the grouping functionality for a certain field.

Sorry to re-open, and if it cannot be fixed I understand, but it would be very helpful to use the view field as a grouping field.
Is there some hidden data in the view that causes it to have unique values? it seems like if the view is a field, you should be able to group by it just like a regular field and set to exclude from display.

What sort of things would you want to group by from the child view? As most of it processing etc is pre_render and render stage, I'm not sure this would be possible to affect the parent views query.

Same problem here:
i am using an All Terms field which I feed to a Field View as argument, grouping by All Terms works but grouping by Field Views doesn t.
Is there a way around it? Maybe something like rewriting the All Terms field with the Field View, i tried different ideas but none works.

I don't think there is a good way to do this, and I don't think this module is willing to try and support it. Grouping by the result of a view just doesn't make sense.

damiankloip I think I have a perfectly understandable example:

I have a Taxonomy describing towns and bars in any town like so:

*town1
**bar1
**bar2

*town2
**bar1
**bar2

Then I have a content type which is tagged with a "bar" (let s call it an event content type)

i have another content type that is a description of the bar and is also tagged with the town/bar taxonomy. Note that although there is a bar term for each physical bar in town there is not necessarirly a description content type for it.

My view then should be:

*bar1 (all term, hidden)
(description of bar1 as a view field using all term as argument) <- grouped by
*event1
*event2

*bar2 (all term, hidden)
(description of bar2 as a view field using all term as argument) <- grouped by
*event3
*event4
