Hi,

I have noticed when I create a list, it never auto-assigns to a folder, even when I navigate to the folder before creating it. I would love for the list so auto-create in the folder in which I created it.

This same concept would be helpful when creating Marketing emails within a folder. Our team has been trained to access specific folders when creating both lists and emails. Currently, no matter where you navigated prior to creating a list or an email, you must take an extra step to assign or move it to a folder after saving.
