Is it possible to incline create new row in table?

[verbeckii]

Hi

I have implemented inline editing functionality for my table, and I am now looking to enhance it further. Specifically, I would like to add a "Create" button that will allow me to effortlessly insert a new empty row into the table. Once the empty row is added, I can easily make inline modifications to the required columns, and upon saving, the changes will be reflected by creating a new row on the server. Can you please assist me with this task?
Only one solution I see right now - just create new row in the server once I click "Create" button (sure if your API allow you to create that empty row, but most time its not)

Hi @verbeckii, in theory, your approach could work by first adding an empty row which can then be inline-edited.
Nevertheless there are some implications on that approach: how do you handle scenarios, where sorting, filtering or pagination is actively used. E.g. if the user has sorted a table and is currently on page x/y - would the specific position in the table be considered when adding a new row?

You could use a Modal for your use-case (assuming a group has two fields, name and store). The modal opens on the same page and contains the form for creating new Groups. Find more information about the Create resources pattern on our website.
