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.

I frequently want to create a new entity from within a rich text document. For example, when in a meeting and new task is described, I just highlight the text and then click, “create new entity” and make it a task. however, two of my databases use Formulas to assign their names. These databases are missing. Is there any way to create a new entity from within a rich text document if that entity type uses a formula to assign its names?! Seems like a handicap t… ---
