@Chr1sG @mdubakov I feel bad pinging you like this, but this issue of “lost user input when creating new name-is-formula-generated entities from the multi-select picker component” keeps coming up every few days, where the users are shocked by their lost input when creating new entities in some view types of a relation field.

### Short-term solution

Please add the mini-form to relation views that are missing it.

This is the mini-form for the same entity as below:

But in some views including “Compact list” the mini-form is missing:

@Yuri_BC What do you think?

### Possibly better solution

- When the user changes the Name field to be formula-generated, create a system text field e.g. “User Input for Name Formula-generated Name”, etc. to capture this type of input for a Name field during the creation step.
- Then in your internal creation mechanism populate that field if any input is received or a formula-generated name field. As we know, in Automations, it can already be too late.
- Once you save user input into this field, then we could easily use an automation or even formula to use that input data wherever needed.
- Optionally you can allow this field to be renamed by the architect.
