Make it possible to switch types with StudioCodeListEditor

[ErlingHauan]

A code list's value should support strings, numbers and booleans. Per now we only support strings in the frontend.

When a code list with numbers or booleans is changed in the editor, the editor will likely change the value to a string.

We need to update the code list editor with the following acceptance criterias:

• The original type for the value attribute is preserved, for uploaded code lists
• It's possible to change the type of value inside the code list
• The fields are validated for correct type

Given that the code lists will eventually be used in a data model, a single, consistent type should be set for all the values in the list.

After a discussion with @ErlingHauan , we agreed to explore how we can implement the selection in the table. Design is looking into whether it can be placed next to the header for values, and whether a Switch or the selection itself can function within the table. The alternative is to have it outside the table, but in the modal, so that it is clear it belongs to the value in the table.

The values the user can choose to set are numbers, text, and boolean. The value must be the same across all fields in the same code list

Could this work @ErlingHauan. I just used a combox in the header and tried to make it as simple as possible.

I was also thinking about something. For example, if we switch from text to numbers here, we need to be able to validate the fields that are set and ask the user to change the fields from text to numbers.

Absolutely 🙌

The editor already has some validation for duplicate values. We can implement something similar for types.

@ErlingHauan can we close this issue?

Moving it back to Todo, since it's ready for dev 😊
