Can't Make change to a thing also create things?

I noticed that this function has been removed in 2017 (the one where we could check a box on the ‘make changes to a thing’ so it would create a new thing, which buggs me, but alright. What are the best practice to create a thing if it dosn’t already exists today?

I ask this because users will use this same form dozens/hundreds of times per day, so I’m trying caution on performance removing duplicates form that create/change the exact same thing.

Also, is there a better way to respect the placeholder instead of the “Lorem ipsum” from the inputs when the form does not load any thing?

Just check the database to see if it exists… if it does make changes to it, if not then create it…

What are you using as your placeholder?

Thanks mate, I was doing that, but it got too slow. I solved this by replaced it with “parent’s group is empty”. That way, the Edit button would send the thing to the parent group, and it was consumed by the inputs.

Solved this by removing “parents parent thing”, and pointing the edit to the last group. I got confused why it did that, but it solved this issue and was able to keep the performance.
It was just plain text; but when the initial content is set (dynamic data), it shows the inputs as “Lorem ipsum” contents instead of the actual placeholders. This is the main issue that I still have forms/popups duplicated in every single page to add/edit things.
