Bases: A button for each group (when using "grouped by...") that creates a file only in that group

Use case or problem

I have a base for To Dos and use a property “area” to differentiate between task types (area: work, uni seminars, uni assignments, uni readings, private, ...).

I have a base view that shows just Uni To-Dos (Filter: area starts with uni). In this view, I use the “group by” function to differentiate Uni To-Dos by type (uni seminars, uni assignments, uni readings).

When adding a new file using the “new” button, it is auto-populated with all the areas in the current filter, even though I only want one. → area: uni seminars, uni assignments, uni readings

Proposed solution

It would be great to have a “new”-button for each group. New files added through that button would auto-populate as usual, according to the filters of view while respecting the current group. See mockup:

Current workaround (optional)

Currently, I have to delete all the other “areas” that are auto-populated every time I create a new entry.
