Description
When I browse attribute table, for each feature I see two lines:
The upper part (e.g. Tower Bridge) can be configured in QGIS (Layer Properties > Display) to show a field or an expression. But the lower part just displays Feature ID number. I think it would be a better idea of using the space to show some sensible information like:
- Existing labels for the feature if it is configured
- Some common field names (e.g. name, type, etc. I think there is a list for them in QGIS).
- A tool in QGIS plugin to configure it by user

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or an implementation entry point. Start by locating the mobile attribute table UI and how its two feature text lines are populated, then review how QGIS display labels are exposed. Done should include an agreed rule or configuration for replacing the Feature ID with useful feature information.
