Question

New item is "dumb" when a specific item type is specified

I'm not sure if I missed a settings option, that's always possible, but I find strange that if I select APIs or Software License, and other as a filter, when I click the New item button, I have to go through the whole selection of item type before I get to populating it; this is suboptimal when the item type is in the "Show more" section.

I'd expect that the type selection informs what item gets created, that'd be optimal, or if the items shown could be based on recency, so the selection would be easier, less optimal (one more click) but better than the current situation (2 clicks).

What do you guys think?

Hi @chrisgve, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback! 

I can see how having the New item button respect your active filter would make the creation flow a lot more streamlined, especially when the item type you need is tucked away under "Show more." 

I've filed a feature request with the team, including all of the details you've provided here.

Thank you! and just for the record, the "dumb" was tongue in cheek and wasn't meant to be demeaning or insulting.

You're very welcome! And no worries at all, I knew exactly what you meant!
