As a solution builder working primarily in App Studio, you would like to easily manage some reusable artifacts at Class Group / Work Pool layer (properties, views, flows, etc.).
Problem: You need to switch to Dev Studio to manage (create/update) these reusable artifacts (and flag them as Relevant Records), so they are available for reuse in the different Case Types from App Studio.
Solution: Within Dev Studio, just create a dummy Case Type rule named pyDefault in your Class Group class.
This will automatically expose your Class Group as a case type within the Case Types landing page and allow you to switch to App Studio to manage your reusable artifacts directly from the Case Designer interface:

This is a fantastic trick, Cedric! It cleverly opens up a world of reusability directly from App Studio that many developers will find incredibly useful. Thank you for sharing it.
While we’re on the subject of reuse in App Studio, I’d like to add an OOTB feature that complements this technique: the Library.
The Library provides a built-in way to create and manage reusable assets directly within App Studio, without needing to switch to Dev Studio. While it’s more limited in scope than your pyDefault trick, it’s a powerful feature for handling common rule types.
You can use the Library to create rules in different contexts, including:
Case Types
Data Objects
The Reusable Layer (your application’s work pool)
The specific rule types you can create and manage through the Library are:
