Avoid Clicking New Twice When No Form

1

Because forms can’t use context filters, I often want to create the entity first and then use the entity view itself as the form.

The problem is when you click New, you have to then click Create on a different part of the screen as well, even when there are no fields to fill in. This isn’t going to go down well with any of my users. Is there a way around this limitation? I want to avoid Custom Apps for this because I need it on many entity views and I’m only using 1 subscription while I’m building so my credits are few.

Basically, I just need to click New and fill in the details with the context filters active without the user needing to click 3 times (New > Create > then open the entity).

Hey!

The solution I came up with is requiring a form on input (which is a form with just the name field), then the “Create and Open” button shows up, and reduces the number of clicks by 1. It’s still not super elegant since not all users will know to press the button. I actually made a recent request to allow to Open new entity in side panel for data input instead of form or in-line, please let me know if that would solve your issue and vote for it or leave your thoughts there :))
