Add Create feature #169

Open rappen opened 2 years ago

rappen commented 2 years ago

Like the Update for the UI, with a "Count" for how many new records that will be created.

Now it will be a true "Bulk Data CRUD"! Actually CRUASD!

I can't see comments like this without playing around, you'll be laking an E-command (Export??) - then it will be a: CRUSADE tool! Just couldn't help myself... I'll let myself out now!

Options ways to solve this feature:

Simplest way to create this new feature:

  1. Enter how many records to create.
  2. They are created, only with a random (or datetime?) on importsequencenumberattribute.
  3. Use a query to get them, simple filtering in the FetchXml.
  4. Now the user can do a Bulk Data Updater to fill the values.

More nice for the users

  1. Create the Create New feature.
  2. Showing the number of new records.
  3. Then just like Update.
  4. Remove set options Touch and Set null and Only when needed - not relevant for new records.
  5. Always include importsequencenumber as above.

Questions

How store/remember the importsequenenumbers? We always want to be able to find them... We want to be able to load them created by DBU, to update or delete these records, within BDU.

Can we find a prefix in the numbers for the sequence? We can't be totally sure it isn't from BDU...
