📌 Group Ref Views by Table for Better Organization

Currently, in AppSheet, Ref views (those not directly displayed in navigation) are all listed under Ref Views without a clear structure. This creates clutter and makes managing views in large apps tedious.

To keep things organized, many developers resort to naming Ref views by prefixing them with the table name (e.g., Orders_Detail, Orders_Edit, Orders_Summary). However, this is a manual, redundant, and difficult-to-maintain workaround.

💡 Proposed Solution

AppSheet should automatically group Ref views under their respective tables, just like it does for primary views. This would:

✅ Make it easier to identify which views belong to each table.

✅ Reduce the need for long, repetitive view names.

✅ Improve app maintenance and navigation within the AppSheet Editor.

🎯 Why This Matters

✔️ More clarity in view structure.

✔️ Less manual effort in naming and organizing views.

✔️ Better user experience for developers managing apps.

If you agree that this would enhance AppSheet’s usability, vote for this idea! 🚀
