> Creating new entities with formula driven names should trigger ask-a-user-input for any fields in the name formula. Currently you have to type in nonsense to create an empty entity that then jumps away if the view is sorted. Then you have to find the empty entity and plug in the fields to affect the name formula, This causes a lot of usability friction when trying to quickly add multiple entities. This idea is from the discussion: [CHANGELOG: Nov 17 / Buttons: Ask user to provide value (+ kinda…](https://community.fibery.io/t/changelog-nov-17-buttons-ask-user-to-provide-value-kinda-batch-actions-cell-selection-behavior-in-table-view/2223/12)

I feel like this is close enough that my linked idea is a duplicate. @Chr1sG is there a proper way to merge this idea? If not, @cannibalflea - I think we should migrate our votes here to centralize our support for this feature.

Additional thoughts:

- The create button should have the option to act like a mini version of the new form view, with all the necessary fields you want the user to fill out (including required options). This would solve the issue with filling our the necessary fields for formula names but would also help with database data hygiene (making sure the proper fields are filled out for each entity created).
- If link and create actions are separated, there should be an admin option to hide one or both action buttons. I have to-many entity relation blocks that I want people to only view or interact with in a specific way.

> This is a beyond the scope of this idea, but adjacent to this second bullet point - I have the same problem with Views. There are Views that I do not want to give anyone the option to create or link items - view only.  
> Example: We have a ‘Project Priorities’ board that pulls priority tasks from all projects that a user is on. If anyone can add new tasks to this board, it defeats the purpose of reviewing full active task logs and deciding on what the current priorities are.
