WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND? Add the ability to create a new object directly from a Relation field (Object type) in the Android app, similar to how it works in the desktop version.
Android App:
Windows App
HOW COULD IT BE DONE? When typing into a Relation field on Android, if no matching object exists, show an option like “Create new object” below the suggestions list. Tapping it should instantly create the object and link it to the field. This mirrors the behavior already available in the Windows app.
REAL WORLD USE CASES When filling out a template or creating a new object that references others (e.g. linking a Task to a Project), I often realize the target object doesn’t exist yet. On desktop, I can create it instantly from the Relation field. On Android, I have to leave the current object, manually create the new one, then return and link it — which breaks flow and slows down work.
This feature would be especially useful for workflows involving:
-
Task → Project
-
Note → Topic
-
Contact → Company
-
Page → Related Page
RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES Currently, the only workaround is to manually create the missing object first, then return to the original one and link it. This is time-consuming and disrupts the user experience.
ADDITIONAL CONTEXT I’m not sure if this limitation exists on iOS as well. On Windows, the feature works smoothly and is a great UX improvement. It would be ideal to bring feature parity across platforms.
