I think Action and Record buttons are an integral part for most apps, yet unfortunately it is a bit tedious to create them and there is no live preview.

I’d like to suggest two improvements:

1. Give the actual Action part more space: Right now it is at the very bottom and there is very little room to choose the fields etc. I think “Action” could easily be a new Tab in between “Options” and “Visibility”.
2. When editing the Actions, actually display the overlay. This way it would be much easier to find a good layout and immediately get an idea how things look.

We’ve been thinking a lot about this as well, really appreciate your feedback @_4N and @onlymatt
