Clicking the ‘+’ (New Feed entity) shows a new entity but you cannot type in it.
Expected behavior: New Feed entity should open as popup, similar to how it currently works in a List View.

But I’m pretty sure this is intentional and not a bug. Pinged on intercom a few times on this and wasn’t changed. And it was actually a pop up for a few weeks when the pop up was introduced, then changed to in line.
It makes inputting on feed view a real pain. You need press plus, create, the open, then edit the rich text, then close.
I think thats not true?
In a list view:
- Click + (popup shows up)
- Click Save
In a feed view (current classic way, which does not use popup but the form is embedded in the feed view, is the first entry)
- Click +
- Click Save
Seen the fact that the popup allows to have more easy display of fields (based on default or custom forms) I prefer the popup.
Yes, true. But the in-line input does not give place to input rich text. And when using feed view the rich text is the main part. At least in the way I use it, I want to input rich text when adding a new entity, if I want this, I need to go through the process of creating, opening, editing, closing.
Popup forms have native capability to input rich text.
Sorry, I don’t undertand what you mean.
You said ‘But I’m pretty sure this is intentional and not a bug’ but I fail to see why?
I think its likely that the New Entity popup feature development had to be put on hold before reaching the Feed View. That the current Feed View its inline New form window is too small to put anhything in, points to the developer just abruptly putting it on hold.
Without further speculation, it would be helpful if the developer can comment here.
See here when it was changed as an improvement from pop-up (the week before this) to a inline creation:
We had one week of high quality feed view data input haha.
