WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND

This request is about drastically shortening the time and work needed to create a new object from the + button on the navigation bar on mobile.

The current flow is:

  1. Tap the + button in the navigation bar => a blank object is displayed, with the “change type” section collapsed
  2. Tap “Change type”
  3. Tap the desired type => a blank object of the desired type is displayed, with the “Type has X templates” modal visible
  4. Tap “show” in the modal to see the templates available
  5. Swipe right until the right template
  6. Tap “use template” => you are finally ready to start working on the object

Instead, the flow should be:

  1. Tap the + button in the navigation bar => a blank object is displayed with the “change type” section expanded (all types are already visible)
  2. Tap the desired type => a new object with the default template already applied is displayed, with the “Type has X templates” modal visible in case the user needs a different template than the default one.

HOW COULD IT BE DONE

Keep the exact same screens and designs, simply change the flow and order.

The “Change type” not being auto-expanded is a bug iirc, and the default templates should also auto-apply on mobile with the next template update iirc as well.

Hey! In addition to what @Filip said, we’re introducing a new method for quickly creating objects of different types. Just long-press the plus button, and a menu will appear where you can choose the specific type. The MVP of this feature will be included in the upcoming iOS release, followed by Android at a later stage.

Nice that looks awesome!

And to clarify, after tapping on a type, what is displayed is the default template?
