Reviving this topic as it seems like an oversight that one cannot:

1. Select a text
2. Choose `Create Entity`
3. Select an database that uses formula-generated names

I understand that the UX is a little tricker as the question is what to do with the highlighted text as the newly created entity will not have the name of the highlighted text.

I would suggest placing it in the clipboard for people to paste it into the most suitable field of the newly created entity.  
Alternatively, I think that using AI here to figure out which field of the formulas to paste it into would be a good use for AI. [As mentioned here.](https://community.fibery.io/t/use-ai-to-fill-entity-fields-of-name-formula/5090)
