> Reviving this topic as it seems like an oversight that one cannot: Select a text Choose Create Entity Select an database that uses formula-generated names [2024-06-05 at 15.16] 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.
