Description

Currently, when you have filters activated in a database view and you want to create a new entry, the line is directly hidden because it does not match the filters due to fields being empty.

My suggestion is to fill up automatically fields ruled by filters with the corresponding criteria in order to create lines faster.

Example :
I have the following table

I apply a filter to keep only lines with Type A and Model 2

With my feature idea, creating a line in this view would fill by default Type with Type A, and Model with Model 2

Impact

I think this feature would be very helpful to manage huge databases with different categories and going much faster when adding entries. You can of course duplicate, but it's not really efficient and practical.
