Either because of duplicate names, or just because you need to explore a little before choosing the right one. Right now I need to go a seperate view, explore / filter / search, find the one i need, go back to the original entity and link it or link it from the target entity, then go back to the original to make the rest of the fields. I’m not entirely sure about a solution to this that doesn’t introduce more sub-views that can get lost… But adding a maximise button and having a list pop up in another panel that can be filtered, searched through, and explored before choosing choosing an entity would be nice. As a starting point, just having the little arrow avaliable for entities you’re searching through so you can take a look at them would be great.

Love this feature of relation row filters, it is extremely powerful. Therefore, the relationship property is the bread and butter of users’ input. Problem: The relationship search dropdown has a very limited width. As you can see in the image it is about 50% of the size of the column we currently have set up.

That’s a great suggestion and I added +1 vote for this. Notion already has some feature/ui to solve this kind of issue. In Notion, you can customize which other data will show up in the dropdown. It’s very useful. Here’s a video I recorded to show their solution. ---

Or another option I just realized if just opening a view in another panel. But i also there no shortcut for that. This might be easier to add and have the same (similar) effect without overcomplicating things. ---

This is also essentially what I requested here for the sake of merging/keeping all votes together: [Display fields in "link or create" window](https://community.fibery.io/t/display-fields-in-link-or-create-window/5679)
