I guess you like the files live table from the File Manager then :)

toolbar (with support for

IMO the toolbar's functionality is already covered by the 'Actions'
column
in the livetable. The only thing missing is the
'Create'
I'm not sure this is the same use case. I can see at least 3 reasons why:
IMO it's exactly the same use case, the only difference is that the Actions
column was used as an intermediate solution because we didn't had bulk
actions in livetable (the ability to make multiple entity selection
(checkbox) - that's why we duplicate the entries on each row).
Thanks,

1/ The "create" button would generate a new entry, whereas the
"actions"
column is for actions that are related to individual entries that already
exist
2/ The "actions" column can be removed by the livetable creator
3/ The toolbar would also be useful to handle bulk actions on pages such as
"delete selected entries" (as in the file manager)
Best,
Guillaume
Thanks,
Caty
