Notion - Customize form for CreateDatabaseForm deeplink command

Description

Problems

• Notion API has a lot of limitations like database properties order, so we couldn't set specific order of properties in Notion and see the same in CreatePageForm form.
• Users are using Raycast instead of Notion, to save something quickly. For that I propose make notion form clean and simple with hide optional fields (optional properties for database), hide fields with default values in quicklinks, change order of fields.

Feature

Create deeplink for CreatePageForm command, but with adjustments like:

• change order of fields
• show/hide fields (then we an hide fields with default values in deeplink)

I saw these code in CreatePageForm.tsx

  {databaseView && setDatabaseView ? (
    <ActionPanel.Section title="View options">
      <ActionSetVisibleProperties
        databaseProperties={databaseProperties?.filter((dp) => dp.id !== "title") || []}
        selectedPropertiesIds={databaseView?.create_properties || databaseProperties.map((x) => x.id)}
        onSelect={(propertyId) => {
          setDatabaseView({
            ...databaseView,
            create_properties: databaseView.create_properties
              ? [...databaseView.create_properties, propertyId]
              : [propertyId],
          });
        }}
        onUnselect={(propertyId) => {
          setDatabaseView({
            ...databaseView,
            create_properties: databaseView.create_properties?.filter((pid) => pid !== propertyId),
          });
        }}
      />
    </ActionPanel.Section>
  ) : null}

but I couldn't find where databaseView will be initialize first time. I think every time will be null or maybe I miss something? I propose to fix this "View options" select and add something similar for change order of fields in the form.

Who will benefit from this feature?

Users who use notion databases like:

• shopping list
• tasks
• reminders ...

Anything else?
