I have many things in a single database that are all named the same.
For example, in my “Iteration” database I already have over 200 records called “Iteration 1” and there will ultimately be thousands more named the same way in the future.
I wish that when I clicked on “Link or create”, I would be able to view some fields (like “Client” or “Due Date” or “Team” for example) that are on the entity I’m trying to link to.
Currently the only fields that are shown are “Name” and “ID” and “Database”, which isn’t enough to easily tell which one I’m looking for.
This feature is more critical when linking “one to many” related entities, because there is currently no way to filter them at all. While it would also be nice to have when trying to link to a “one or one” or “many to one” related entity, at least there is an option to use filters in those cases.
I agree this feature could be helpful for navigation and UX in larger Fibery workspaces.
That said, why not create unique names using a formula for your usecase?
When looking at the collection of Iterations from the Release entity view, you could choose to not show the Name field, and just show the iteration number instead
A big thing would also be search. Being then able to search for items based on these visible fields would mean that you don’t need to make a huge name formulas just for the ability to search for an item across fields.
Currently, the dropdown for the related field shows the values of the Name field of the related db. That’s rather limiting and forces me to make majority of the Name fields as formula fields to present context or some additional info about the related entity.
I’d like to customize what’s visible about the related fields in the dropdown to quickly understand the context without the need to create this Name formula field workaround or to open a copy of Fibery in the parallel browser tab.
