🐛 Bug: Unable to add new record to linked table by "add new link"

[geofflambeth]

Please confirm if bug report does NOT exist already ?

• I confirm there is no existing issue for this

Steps to reproduce ?

• I'm using app.nocodb.com, haven't validated in a self-hosted installation
• Create two new tables within a single base
• Add a new field with
  • Type: "link"
  • Relation: either "many to many" or "has many"
  • Child table: whichever table not currently using
• On record, select open "linked records"
• Select "link records"
• select "new record"
• Attempt typing into any fields on the new record, text appears in the previous "link records" window's search bar—not in the "new record" fields.
  • I'm able to get data to populate there by right clicking to paste. Typing directly or using keyboard shortcuts is not working for me.

Desired Behavior

Able to type directly into a new linked record's fields without a workaround.

Project Details

NocoDB used in the app.nocodb.com site, not self-installed
Bases created within app.nocodb.com, not connected to an external data source

Facing the same issue on a self-hosted install. This bug does not exist in 0.204.0.

Also, technically the issue is not with adding a new record (as stated in title), but with editing any data in a record accessed via a link.

Node: v20.11.1
Arch: x64
Platform: linux
Docker: true
RootDB: mysql2
PackageVersion: 0.204.1

I agree with what lcavasso says, editing or creating entries via a link results in typing through to the underlying page.

I was using the following when seeing this behavior:

Arch: Noco-win-x64.exe
Platform: Windows
Docker: false
RootDB: sqlite3
PackageVersion: 0.204.1
