Description

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. When you are creating / editing a view, it would be great to have the ability to Apply the changes and keep the window open.

  2. It would / could also be very nice to have a view preview available that shows like 5-10 rows of data based on the current view Code.

  3. It would also be nice if the window Size / Resized would stick between uses, at least for the same session.

  1. One other item would be a setting to turn off verification of Table Changes

Additional context
This would especially be nice with the new UI where the Workspaces are split so going back and forth between query and browser would be much simpler. And yes, I know I can go back to "old" mode, but I do like aspects of the "new" UI.

Research direction

The issue requests four separate changes to the View Properties window: applying edits without closing, previewing rows from the current view code, retaining window size during a session, and optionally disabling table-change verification. Start by locating the existing View Properties workflow and determine separate acceptance checks for each requested behavior; done means the agreed subset works without disrupting view editing.
