--- Comment #5 from [email protected] ---
After further testing, this issue is not an enhancement request — it is a
usability problem that misleads users about the nature of CSV “imports.”

When a user imports a CSV directly into Base, the UI gives the impression that
a real database table has been created. However, the resulting object is
actually a connection to a CSV file with a read‑only structure.

This leads to several UX failures:
• Users cannot add fields
• Users cannot add new records
• No primary key is created
• The structure is silently locked
• There is no warning that the table is not editable

The workflow appears normal until the user attempts to modify the structure —
at which point it becomes clear that the “table” is not a real table. This
creates confusion and forces users to restart their workflow from scratch.

This isn’t about adding a new feature. It’s about preventing user error and
making Base’s behavior consistent and predictable.

Please consider reclassifying this as a UX issue so it can receive proper
triage.
