Create view from Table only shows the first 1000 tables in a schema

Hi! I have noticed when my developers are trying to make views from tables, they can only do so if it happens to fall within the first 1000 alphabetically ordered tables per schema. Is this bug known to the community? 

This I'm sure happens to some other clients as it's not uncommon to have more than a 1000 tables in central schemas nowadays.

I have this issue too, and wonder if there's any way to select the hidden tables...

Hello, I have the same problem, have you been able to solve it?

Nope still no solution, I will talk to my Looker representative. I imagine there is no actual solution as it seems like a UI bug.

Hey all, currently the UI does limit view generation to the first 1,000 tables. Would you mind filling out product feedback to increase the number of tables shown? It's helpful for our engineering teams to gauge interest in a feature. Here are directions on how to do so!  https://www.googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/The-Kitchen-Table/Feature-Requests-How-your-feedback-makes-L...

Hi Deckel,

Thanks for reaching out. A good option for accomplishing this task in the short term is leveraging the SQL runner to create a view file from a SQL statement selecting all fields. For insight on how to get this done, check out the following docs.
