Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We would like to use tables to keep a project list with a lot of properties. Having all properties in the table would make it too big though.

So I made a view with just some columns. Unfortunately, when editing that row / record, the modal will also only show the limited columns (for that view)

Describe the solution you'd like

Would it be possible to add different columns for the table and for the detail view (in our case, all fields)?

Research direction

Start by tracing how a table view selects columns and how the row/record detail modal uses that selection. Check the existing view and detail-view entry points first. Done means a view can keep a limited table while the detail view exposes all properties, with the behavior verified in the relevant frontend tests.
