I’m often creating or experimenting with different views of related entities while inside of an actual entity.
It’s very time consuming and annoying to have to recreate every single customization I made to the levels, field visibility and positioning & filters every single time.
Every other tool out there already has this option for views, and even in Fibery you can duplicate views in the main left panel, so why can’t you do the same thing on views inside of entities?

I would like to be able to duplicate (or change) a view as a different view (e.g. Table as a Board) where as many settings as possible (e.g. filters, sort) would be carried over.
I understand that view-specific settings would be stripped. 🙂

Fully agree, so you’ve got my vote! We only use context view in our workspace. And we often have multiple views that are only sorted differently.
It’s a real pain in the ass to build those views over and over again 😅

So do we, I hate using the left sidebar other than for quick navigation between high level entries/databases!
You call these “context views” and I’ve always thought of them as “entity views”. @Chr1sG called them “relation views” in another topic…is that the official fibery name for these?
If so, what are the other views (that and created and live in the left sidebar) called so I can get my language straight? 😛

Good question, don’t know the answer 😂 I call them context view since a context filter is applied. But I don’t think that’s the official term.
Awesome to meet someone that also doesn’t use the normal left menu 😁 Do you have a similar setup as I described here

> I’ve hacked this in our workspace sweat_smile Left menu is only navigation; no views. When you open a page (which is an entity itself) then you have the ‘work area’ We show a lot of data there since I believe that the user needs to have all information in one place to save time. The weekly overview page is to big for screenshots but if I collapse all databases (deze week) you’ll see what we are showing on a ‘menu page’. It’s in Dutch but th…
or something else?

Here’s what I’ve built so far. As you can see, not using the left sidebar so much. 🙂
Only really use views there when they can’t be done properly inside of an entity, like due to [context filters only working on the top level database and not the ones underneath](https://community.fibery.io/t/struggling-with-context-views/5636/15).

A left menu view is just a ‘view’
A ‘context view’ is one where a context filter is applied, e.g. “only show me Tasks related to this Project”. Such a view could be found as
- an embedded view in a rich text field of a Project
- a view in a smart folder of Projects
- and by default, the relation field called ‘Tasks’ on an entity view of a Project is displayed with a context filter, since it usually makes sense to only show linked Tasks(!)
The last of these tends to be called a relation view.
An ‘entity view’ is merely the overall view of a single entity, showing/hiding whatever fields a creator has decided. Any visible to-many relation fields (aka collections) are shown as relation views.
But note that for all ‘context views’ the context filter can be disabled, if that’s desirable.

Yep, that’s a bummer 🥲

Not trying to be annoying about this, but it’s frustrating that the ability to duplicate and entity view was added a week after release, but we still can’t duplicate context/relation views.
Is there a technical challenge that makes it harder to duplicate context/relation views compared to “regular” views or entity views?

Done in today’s release

> face_exhaling Move Multiple Entity Views to Standard plan from Pro Multiple Entity Views are moved to Standard plan. It appeared that we underestimated the need and Multiple Entity Views are important for basic use cases, like CRM. Indeed it was relatively weird that we had no limitations for other views, but only added this limitation for newly released view. Anyway, we’ve fixed this mistake and now you can enjoy Multiple Entity Views in any plan. Whiteboard shortcuts We’ve fixed …
