Steps to reproduce

It would be nice to allow the user to add fields after creating a class. Where the user has another option to either Create class or Create class and add columns. Once the user chooses the Create class and add columns, the create a field dialog popsup with another option something similar to Create field and add another field and upon choosing the second option, the field is created and the dialog remains open for the user to add fields until they close or select the first option

Thanks for suggesting.

Generally, to keep the codebase maintainable, we should avoid feature duplication. Unless it provides a clear benefit for usability to maintain multiple flows to achieve the same outcome.

If I understand your suggestion correctly, you want to combine the following features into one modal view:

• create class
• add columns

The outcome can already be achieved with existing features. So before we come to the conclusion of adding an additional flow, let's analyze the problem first, that is why you are not satisfied with the current flow and what its shortcomings are in your view.

The idea was to tie flows together to reduce user navigation. So that users can create a class and columns in one flow.
So when the users create a class, they can choose to continue adding columns in the same flow by allow the user to open the create column dialog with an additional button.
Something similar to flow below. The create buttons will simply close the dialogs while create and add buttons will continue the flow.

I think I understand what you are aiming for. I assumed you wanted to add a more complex dialog for column addition / management. But you are only suggesting to add a "Add a new column" button directly into the dialog for not having to click on the "Add column" button in the browser bar. I think that makes sense, as it saves 1 click.
