Hello, I wanted to bring up the request to have the ability to filter within the “Collections” area on the Entity card. It’s this area: [Image 2020-07-08 at 1.27.15 AM.png] I have been following two requests for this functionality from @rickcogley and @gregbacchus : [image] […

Done! [image] CHANGELOG: September 8, 2022 / Relation Lists, reorder Databases in Space settings Changelog Relation Lists This feature has been experimental for a while ( CHANGELOG: August 18, 2022 / Experimental: Relation Views and Buttons on Entity View, Prom…

This functionality is possible using formulas: Task.filter(Status=open) or something like that :slight_smile: Obviously, this would result in two fields that look like collections: the original read-write one, showing all linked entities, and a read-only one, showing only the filtered list. I gue…

Hi, I would really need a “Filter” option on those sub-entity views as well. I don’t really get the “Task.filter(Status=open)” solution and how it can be a candidate for a good UX now or in the future. Actually, a “Sort” option option would be very helpful as well, as we have views with 100+ item…

[image] XLN: I don’t really get the “Task.filter(Status=open)” solution and how it can be a candidate for a good UX now or in the future It can’t :slight_smile: But it’s a short-term fix. However, I think there’s some interesting challenges under the hood to this apparently simple request. …

Well I was asking for this feature because you know, “if you don’t ask, you don’t get” :slight_smile: I agree it must not be a simple one but it would be very useful. Some feedbacks on the interesting challenges you mentioned : [image] Chr1sG: when a user wants to link a new item Ideally a…

Yeah, a filtered display of linked items is definitely useful, as is a ‘filtered relationship’ I believe (discussed here Relationships filter ) Personally, the latter is actually more useful to me, but I think I’m aligned with you on roughly how the former would ideally function.

@Chr1sG , well done on bringing up some of the challenges that come with trying to implement this sort of thing. I think it’s important to try to maintain awareness of the difficulties involved in what we want the system to do. But as well, it’s always worth asking, of course! I can fairly easily t…

Current functionality… when an item is created from a filtered view, the new item gains the filtered criteria in the respective field. Seems the devs have already come to terms with the conundrum. The convention is that you are happy enough with the view’s criteria that you are willing to persist th…

I think it’s worth noting that the original discussion relates to ‘collections’ rather than views (tables, boards, hierarchical lists etc.) It’s an important distinction since the collection is the relationship, not just a view of it. If someone wants a relationship to have filter-limiting, that’s…

[image] DBG: you cannot filter the data selectable in a relationship field. I’m looking at you airtable I believe Airtable offers filtering selectable data in a relationship field. It does it by limiting choice to a specific view.

Nope, airtable’s relation field’s have one set of static selectable data that never changes. I’m a cleaner, I have hundreds of locations I work at, each of these locations have a bunch of tasks. I want to record what cleaning tasks were completed today at the location. When I open the “tasks” relat…
