Allows managing the use case (e.g) “create a new product from a new provider, open the product screen, and from there create the provider on the fly”.
This would open an editor for a new Provider entity instead of the entity currently selected (as in the “open” action).
It seems no big deal to implement, I’ll run for it, but this kind of use case is quite standard and such standard action make sense.
Of course one can still open the Provider browser from the menu and then create the new Provider, so this is no big deal. But the action flow through the GUI would feel more natural, and conform to what CUBA is proposing.
Never mind, using the ‘lookup’ action does the trick even better. You guys rock.
