Modal Element is a Must for Related/Linked Record Fields

been enjoying the application builder alot and it saves a ton of time for building small admin type applications. However, one glaring thing that is missing a Modal element to show the values in a related record, I.e. link to table field. So for example, if we have an inventory table and a SKU table, we might link a field called “SKU” in the inventory table to the SKU table. When building an application, in order to see the data in the related field from the SKU table, we need to click on it and have an entire page reload for a totally new page that shows a SKU from the SKU table. This is not how it works in a regular BaseRow table. In regular baserow, when you click on a link to table field, you get a Modal that shows the data for that field in the related table. I think it is critical to add this Modal element in the application builder. Basically, you add Modal element, assign the table to it, and then pass the ID or some other param. That way you can show the underlying data in a modal, instead of having to reload an entirely new page in the application builder. Hope this makes sense. Just see how the Modal is done in the regular BaseRow table.

Hey @ddsgad, thanks for sharing your idea! We’ll check it out :raised_hands:

Hey @ddsgad this feature in in the roadmap but we don’t know yet how it’s going to be implemented but yes it should be possible to show a modal and select a row with all selected data.
