I played with this for awhile. There’s is definitely some weirdness here. It seems like favorites possibly function normally with and without the favorites bar. The only difference is whether or not the isFavorite column is visible or not. I guess the only thing I don’t like is that if the items have a favorites component and the favorites bar is hidden, then the isFavorite column is hidden and there is no way to filter a list using the standard filter because of the hidden column. I get why they made this change. Before, if you added the favorites component, then the column was added with no way to get rid of it short of deleting, which caused further issues. I think it might be a little aggresive on the hiding of the isFavorite column. I’m just thinking about those that may want to filter a list style screen without the favorites bar, or add a filtered inline list to a details screen, which doesn’t appear to allow for a favorites bar and can’t be filtered without the isFavorite column being visible in the data. The cases I’m pointing out might be rare, but I think we are going to be dealing with this issue in the forum for the foreseeable future.
