Explain the problem as you see it
This stems from the perpetual problem I'm having with bidirectional fields. Look at the bidirectional field link's description, as quoted here:
Using an example, when we create
Alice in Wonderland #bookwith the Author field asLewis Carroll #author, currently we are unable to automatically populateLewis Carroll #authorsuch that its Books field showsAlice in Wonderland #book
Why is this a problem for you?
As in the bidirectional fields description, same thing -- too many clicks. I can do this easily in Notion, but I can't replicate my workflows in Tana.
The most frequent solutions posited are:
1) "Just create a live search!" - A live search cannot appear in a table to be seen in one glance.
2) "Just embed a live search within a field" - That still requires 2 clicks. In a table serving as dashboard, I expect to be able to see all my data at one glance - not having one extra click per item - if I have 50 items, do I need to click 50 times? That's a little unreasonable...
3) "Just build it in the title" - This is ugly and just does not work.
Suggest a solution
I've thought of something: A Live Search field.
This means that we should be able to configure a Search Expression, just like in a proper Live Search, and be able to use search expressions like>field:: PARENT which will easily solve this problem.
However, this method may not be able to replicate "Rollups" in Notion. Also, live searches can be very "busy" in screen estate, so some method to display its results in a truncated way in Table View would be a good way.
