I was thinking I could set up a “utility view” that acts a sort of template where I set certain filters, and because items are automatically set to obey the filters set, (in relations, dates, and boolean), it will set the fields automatically. The problem is that this does not work for plain text fields. They are not set based on filter, and are just filtered out of the view. It would only make sense for it to behave like all the other fields.
Work around would be to set a template relation, filter by relation, and add an automation that sets the name to single select.name if name is empty and single select is not empty. But this is less pretty, and the fields are not auto populated (takes a second for the automation to run).
Edit:
I just realized if i set it to “is” and not “contains” it works as needed.
