Add an entity inline on grouped views

I have been using Fibery for about three weeks now since we moved our agency over from Notion. Overall, I absolutely love it; it has been a game changer in terms of the way we have things set up.

However, there are a few small, annoying issues, or rather things missing that were very handy in Notion. Almost all of our views are grouped into some kind of grouping, but the issue is that whenever we want to add a new item to one of the groups, the actual process is a bit tedious. Rather than being able to add a new item inline within the existing table in the view, we have to go to “New”, which by default seems to create a new group rather than a new item. Then we have to set up new forms for every single view, which we do not always need to do. It would be much easier just to add the item inline and then populate the columns as we go along.

So this is a feature request to be able to add a new entity inline when using a grouped layout, where it would automatically inherit the property for the group it has been added into.

If you right-click on the group/heading name, you can click New > [entity] inside. Does this accomplish what you’re looking for?

Yes, that’s exactly what I was looking for. Perfect. Thank you. I’ll let our team know.

I think this is related to this:

@mdubakov, even though the right click is a solution, I still feel this post should stay as “Ideas and Features”, where the idea is to make it more intuitive than the right click and “Create Inside”. Unless @adamph feels it completely solves the problem and no change is needed.

Hi @ron,

Yeah, you’re right. I checked before posting, but I didn’t find these, so thanks for showing them.

The right-click definitely works; 3 members of our team missed it, so I wouldn’t say it was solved either, but I’m glad we’re not the only ones.
