Way to quickly add multiple items to a location (esp. on Mobile)

[NePoCz]

What is the problem you are trying to solve with this feature?

I just started with HomeBox and like the UI and functionality. I want to use it for a very simple inventory management (without any item properties basically, just to keep track of contents of various boxes). Maybe this is the problem, as HomeBox seems to be way more advanced, but maybe you will like the idea anyway ;)
I want to be able to add many items (without properties) to a location quickly. On mobile, you currently need 3 clicks (2 on desktop) to get to the "Create Item" dialog and then open up the "Create" dropdown to select "Create and Add Another". I am not saying this is bad, but maybe it could be simplified.

What is the solution you are proposing?

Have an easy way how to add Items when you are currently inside a location. There are three options that come to mind:

1. Have a "+" button (in bottom right corner) which would bring up the "Create Item" dialog (no option to specify Location/Label, as these can be created using the current workflow).
2. Even faster, in the table view, have a new line with an empty field, into which you can write the item name and hence create it (by pressing Enter or a button at the end of the row). Might be at the top of the table to be accessible or at the end of the table (on each page) to not get in way when unused.
3. Move the "Create and Add Another" from the dropdown and make it into another button. But I understand this is space-consuming

What alternatives have you considered?

On desktop, you can press Shift + Enter to "Create and Add Another". Unfortunately this is not possible on Mobile

Agreed, it would be great to have a more seamless flow for quickly adding an item to a location on mobile. One approach I think could work is a quick-add feature where you navigate to a Location and can enter Item Names in a table, one per line. Then later those items could be embellished with descriptions, labels ,values and whatnot.

The thought behind this approach is to allow for splitting the work of inventory management into two steps: cataloguing and enriching. In the cataloguing step, it's optimal to physically walk around the location quickly entering the items you see (and potentially photographing them). In the second step, it's optimal to be at a desk on a PC or laptop where you can add extra details by cross referencing things like purchase price, warranty info as well as deciding on a labelling strategy. Just my 2 cents based on my habits, everyone has a different workflow.
