In the new Table/Grid View when creating an Entity that has a name created by a Formula, I cannot seem to immediately open the entity. See attached GIF. In the old Table when you could just click the entity name to open it, it seemed to work fine. Now that you have to click the > arrow to the right …

[image] Chr1sG: the new table view will sort with (almost) immediate effect, which can be annoying if it means you ‘lose sight’ of the entity you just created. Perhaps, when this does happen, the newly created and reordered row could stay selected and scrolled into view?

Yep, that’s exactly it. The old behavior was non-ideal from a refresh-responsiveness standpoint, but that quirk could be taken advantage of to edit newly-created formula-named entities more easily :smile: [image] Chr1sG: But overall, in most views, creating entities with a formula for a name ca…
