⭐ When a field is newly created, don't automatically add it to all views

Hi!
when I create a new field, the default behavior is to add it to all existing views. many times I don’t want that to happen since the field is a field that no one needs to see. the problem is that if I have 50 Users each with 20 own Private views, its nearly impossible to get the new field out of all the views.

to overcome it we used in the past to create the service field toward the end of the record, but I wonder if there is a way to either not add new fields to existing views by default, or at least have an option to control it?

Thank you!

I will come back to you and keep you posted.

Thanks for your input & efforts!

I can also see where this would be beneficial to previously saved views. Great idea.

Example:

Just wanted to give this a bump as I am out of votes, but this would be a huge help in apps that have a lot of views. Perhaps this could even be a temporary flag when adding a new field to let the user decide?

@andrew.cranston @roman @1F2Ns I have just included it in the mockups of the field setting for the new record so that the feature is developed with it. I absolutely see the use case and the need for it.

Best regards

That’s a tiny, but meaningful UX change :clap:
