Census - Adding a person not in file

In a future version of AS.
Would it be possible that when adding a new person, that on pressing ok, the person is inserted directly into the census grid in the next slot?
At present you have to create the person, and then reselect that person to add them to the grid.

I suppose it could be an option on the add individual form. Sometimes you don't want to add the person you created e.g. you might need to create an unknown sibling in order to create a child of the sibling who is mentioned on the census as a nephew or niece. However, I would agree that most of the time you do want to add them.

That would make sense.
Perhaps instead of OK or Cancel there could be three buttons.

Save: Save & add to Grid; Cancel

to extend this further maybe a fourth option of

Save & New:

for when you are adding multiple children
