Why we did this

Every listing had two controls fighting for the same spot above its table: the quick filter and the new column picker.

What happened

One strip now holds both: filter keys on the left, Columns on the right, across every listing. Three known gaps and the promised visual design are still open.

  2. 2

    The filter's dropdown offers only the things the table has a column for.

Also in this cycle
  • Repos and Workspaces swapped a lone Columns button for the full strip, filtered by team. Before → after
  • Three rough edges are written down for later: crowded filters, a dropdown that rarely appears, and a sorting mismatch. In words

How we got here

Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.

Someone said

From the record: no recorded conversation behind this one.

We decided

c95-D1 A new component composes the filter bar and the column picker; the filter bar stays filter-only and gains an end slot. — Mark Parson

c95-D2 Skip the deep prototype phase and build the join directly, with the picker as a segment inside the bar. — Mark Parson

c95-D5 Add the column picker and the key dropdown to the other listing pages too. — Mark Parson

So now

Above every listing's table, one strip now holds the quick filter and the column picker.

Someone said

From the record: no recorded conversation behind this one.

We decided

c95-D3 The strip offers the global filter keys, restricted to keys the table has a column for. — Mark Parson

So now

The filter's dropdown offers only the things the table has a column for.

Ruled the join and where it sits

Chose one composed strip over growing the filter bar, skipped the deep prototype ("this is fairly simple"), asked for the key dropdown on every listing, and picked keys restricted to the table's columns.
