Add support for best guess for relationship display fields #140

Closed octgsoftware closed 1 year ago

Displaying the id for select boxes and in columns is currently the Jhipster default behavior.

The majority of my entities have a unique constraint on a single column. Picking a column with the lowest ordinal position and a unique constraint as the display field would take care of the vast majority of my cases.

See JDL Relationship Syntax for how to specify the display field on relationships.

Makes sense to implement a logic to select the display field
