Description

Current Version: 1.13.0
Platform: Windows
Architecture: ia32

When manually adding an entity to a table, it'd be extremely useful if the Add Entity window had an additional button to auto-fill the rowKey with the current timestamp or datetime string. Having to generate it outside of Storage Explorer has been tedious.
