I did some searching but wanted to be certain since I’m still relatively new to the scripting block.
Does anyone know if there is a way to create new views?
My use case is that I currently manually create a suite of views each time I add a new client and/or project. For every project I will have an All view that shows everything about it, then an Open view that only shows stuff that’s currently being worked on, an Invoice view that gives me a summary of the tasks that need to be invoiced to make my invoicing faster, etc.
Currently I have template views that I duplicate and update the related filters to have it show the right records. I’d love to automate this with the scripting block, but I don’t see a way to create new views from script.
Am I missing something? Anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks!

I think the only think you can create is records.

I got the same questions, and a little more:

At this time, you cannot programmatically create or modify tables, views, or fields via the scripting block. You’ll have to manually perform those actions in the main table UI.

Thanks, Stephen (and all).
Humbly requesting this feature :pray:

I can see this being very useful too - one example being to give subcontractors their own read-only view of work assigned to them without having to set them up manually.

Thank you @Stephen_Suen & Script-Block team !
I hope these instructions will be added in a future evolution of Script-Block, in a not too distant future, because I’m tired of cloning my tables-templates by adapting Field-Names and Field-Types and Views by hand.
Thank you for your understanding,

Automating creating Views, Dashboards… that would be a dream.
At the moment I have to do this manually and it takes ages…
Please help me :pray:

Any updates on this?
Would love to have this option or even a block that can create multiple views.
