Would love to see a way to add fields directly from the section designer, its often a little more cumbersome to add a new field when you have to currently

Create the field, go to the sections, select the entry type then drag and drop the field into place.

The other way to approach it would be to be able to assign a field to a section/entry type directly on creation (maybe even multiple).

In that approach it would just add it to the bottom of the first tab i assume and you would have to go to the section designer to move it around.

Sounds nice, and is a path the fellows already are on, I think. New Entry creation from fields in 2.5 is already there, if you noticed it...

+1, this would be an amazing addition to core!

In the meantime, this awesome plugin was released to compensate for this exact feature:

I was just coming to add this exact request, but voted up this one instead. I would like to see this as an addition to current functionality, not a replacement.

Indeed. The separation of these two things makes it cumbersome when creating all the content types and fields for a new site.

Closing this in favor of #2685.
