Prompt users to name tables during creation

Open ghislaineguerin opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Problem

When users create a new table in Mathesar, an automatic name is generated, and users are not prompted to enter a name themselves. Based on usability testing, this can lead to confusion in future steps, such as when deciding the direction of table links.

Proposed Solution

We need to update the workflow for creating a new table to prompt users to enter a name for the table before it is added to their schema. This could happen in a modal, similar to when a new schema is created.

I think the solution is to just make a prompt to the user when making a new table right now i'm trying to find the table creation function but I can't seem to find it
