Certain fields seem to auto populate for all new entities that get created, even though there’s no automations or default values setup that should be doing that.

Here’s a video of me trying to create a new “Tracking Link” under a “Campaign” where the “Journey” is getting pre-populated when it shouldn’t be. The only way to fix it is to create the entity with the wrong relationship and then remove it after it has been created.

Is it possible that this is a [view with a context filter](https://the.fibery.io/@public/User_Guide/Guide/Context-Views-20/anchor=Mirroring-a-context-View--4e26bf4d-a013-4a00-970f-147020606301) applied?

Yep, I didn’t originally think that was the issue, but after looking at the context filter it does make sense why it would force a required field.

Thank you for your help!
