On add entity page, add functionality to auto-fill.

XMLWordPrintable

      A functionality can be added in the front-end which will let the user auto-fill the info in the create entity page. On running an auto-fill button, a script would run which would scrape and grab all related data automatically from various web resources, and then fill the fields accordingly. The script would only need the name of the entity to do so. After the auto-filling is done, the user can review the auto-filled data and edit if necessary. This would decrease the entity adding process a lot faster for the users.

      A typical usage scenario can be like this.

      1. A user opens the add creator page.
      2. He writes the creator's name.
      3. Clicks the auto-fill button.
      4. All the data are auto-filled as the user waits for a second or two.
      5. He edits a few incorrectly filled data here and there.
      6. Clicks the submit button.
