Quick Add

Press R from anywhere to create a record in any workspace without navigating away.


Quick Add is the fastest way to capture a record. Press R from anywhere in Blue and a small dialog opens — pick a workspace, type the record name, hit Enter, you’re done. You stay exactly where you were.

Opening Quick Add

  • Keyboard — press R from anywhere except a text editor.
  • Menu — pick Quick Add from any top bar menu.

What you can set

The Quick Add dialog deliberately keeps things minimal so it’s actually quick:

  • Workspace — pick any workspace you have access to. The picker remembers your last choice.
  • List — the list within the workspace the record will land in.
  • Record name — required.
  • Assignee — optional.
  • Due date — optional.

For everything else — custom fields, description, checklists, comments — open the record after creating it.

Behavior

  • The dialog closes after creating the record and leaves you exactly where you were — no navigation away from your current view.
  • The new record follows the workspace’s normal creation rules: default fields, automation triggers on creation, and any list-position defaults all apply.
  • You need at least create record permission on the target workspace; workspaces where you can’t create show as disabled in the picker.

For capturing a record with its details — description, full field setup, checklist — open the workspace directly. Quick Add is for the bare-minimum capture, not the full edit.
