Description
Currently the "add column" button opens a dialog with a tedious form where the user has to take a lot of decision before they can add a property to the table.
We can improve this by removing the creation dialog and instead open a searchable menu where users can choose between:
- data types (such as checkbox, text field, e-mail)
- Useful auto-filled presets (such as creation date, modified date, author)
- Useful "fillable presets" (such as assignee, due date, status)
Here are a few example from our competitors

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the current “add column” button and creation dialog in the frontend, then map the requested data types and presets into a searchable menu. Done means the dialog is replaced and users can select the described property categories.
