Bases: Quick New Note Row

Use case or problem

Currently adding a new row/note to a base involves clicking the New button for each note new. If you’re trying to add multiple line items, or a list, that you want to be Notes, it can take a lot of extra clicks to get them in one.

Proposed solution

It’d be easier if there was a “New Note” ghost row at the bottom of the table that allowed you to enter a name and click enter to add another one.

Use case or problem

When pressing “+” in an embedded .bases table, a new note is currently created and opened in a preview modal for title, properties, and content input.

Proposed solution

Instead, it should add a new row inline in the table and focus the note title cell directly, allowing users to enter the title without leaving the table view.

This would streamline quick note creation workflows and maintain table context without unnecessary view changes.

An additional UI option: having the line representing a new note (still not created) constantly showing there, to make clear the properties that will be automatically filled in according to the current filter. The note is then created when we finish typing the name.
