[DONE] Sorting related fields by date no longer respects the ability to hide individual related fields

In short, I want to take my related fields, turn all of them off except for one, and then group them by date. When I go to create a new field, it prompts me to choose from a list of related apps. How do I turn that off?

Hi @1F2Ns,

thank you very much for the report :100:

I just tested this myself, and you are absolutely right. When grouping by date, the current setting for hiding individual references is not being respected.

If you turn off all references except one in this menu:

then the disabled references should of course no longer appear in the “Create new record” overlay. And if only one reference is still shown after grouping by date, the overlay should not appear at all during creation.

We already have a fix in our pipeline. I’ll let you know once the fix is live. It should go live during the day tomorrow, and then this issue should be resolved.

Thanks again for the report and best regards,
Leo

That was my first time building completely in the new record experience from start to finish. It’s so much faster and more intuitive.

I know we’re in beta and looking/finding all the fringe bugs BUT wow! It feels like a completely different program.

Thank you to taking a look, confirming, and fixing.

We ran into this same issue again on July 15th…seems like it hasn’t been fixed quite yet.

We also seemed to notice that it didn’t keep the previous setting if we toggled back and forth between the group by options. That felt like a waste of time because we weren’t trying to change the whole field. We were simply trying to say, “Wonder if it looks better this way or this way,” but we had to sit and click a bunch of options each time we switched back and forth to figure that out.

Hi @1F2Ns and @CarsonRedCliffLabs,

thank you both again for your reports. And @1F2Ns, thank you very much for your kind and positive feedback about the new record experience. It really means a lot to us! :100:

The original issue, where disabled references were still shown in the “Create new record” overlay, had already been fixed some time ago.

However, we later identified another issue where the selected sorting order was not applied correctly. We also investigated the issue reported by @CarsonRedCliffLabs, where the previous settings were lost when switching between the grouping options.

All of these issues have now been fixed. The references, sorting order, and saved settings should now work correctly and consistently.

Thank you both again for helping us improve this!

Best regards,
Leo
