Description
The problem
Currently it's difficult to reference a row of a table in a way that is human readable. We only have the row id, but such value does not mean much to humans.
One limitation that we already encountered was in showing table changes in activity. We currently reference a row id, but that is not very useful.
Proposal:
- All tables and views should have a primary property.
- In table view, elements in the primary property column are clickable and that opens the entry view.
- Elements in the primary property column should be sticky.
There's a good video from baserow that illustrates the importance of such field
