Epic: Field management

[Acylation]

What would you like to be added?

This issue is started to gathering feature requests related to field management for a more general design.

• Lifting up the field config to the project level.

  • #692
  • Provide command / hotkey for new field, correctly pointing active project (fix create note command at the mean time)

• Creating new fields via Table view.

  • #557
  • In progress improvements:
    • Right-click menu on column header to call the dropdown (In design)
    • In-place rename for column header

• Editing predefined values via Board view.

  • #482
  • An incoming improvement of #732 would be supporting field configurations (rich-text, options) via Board view.
  • #818 implements a sync between predefined value orders and column orders

• Better auto suggestions on predefined fields.

  • #197

• Type casting.

  • #76
  • #320
  • #476
  • #582 (derived)
  • #704 (derived)

• More detailed column setting of Table view

  • #484
  • Async field operations (creation, deletion and rename). Update dataframe and project config first, and perform file modifications at the background, need to be tested with a 50+ files project
  • Async file operations (648e86b)
  • Debounced update of Table view upon these operations
  • Duplicate field
  • Add validation upon field rename to avoid unintentional overwriting. Simply ban duplicate field names via #817, and will explore merging/overwriting options.

Why is this needed?

Catching up with Obsidian Properties, and provide a more flexible UX.
