Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As there is inline editing now it would be much appreciated to have the ability to create one or multiple new rows that then are filled in via inline editing.

Describe the solution you'd like

Instead of the "+ create Row" Button on the left above the table there should be a "create" menu with the Options: 1. Create Row 2. Create one/multiple empty Rows

These Options doe as follows:

  1. same as the existing create row
  2. creates one or multiple empty Rows - if in a view, fields should be autopopulated to match its filters
Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing “+ create Row” control and the inline-editing flow in the frontend. Check how view filters are applied, then verify that a create menu offers both existing row creation and one or multiple empty rows, with fields matching the active view filters.
