[OneDiscover] Don't display empty fields as default columns #186571

Open kertal opened 5 months ago

đź““ Summary

To improve the display of search results, any default columns that are empty for a particular search should not be displayed. In DataView mode we currently have a logic to place empty fields in the “Empty fields” section, so this logic can be adapted for hiding empty columns. For example, if service.name is empty, it should not be shown as a column.

✔️ Acceptance criteria

We discussed this in our sync today and decided not to do it for now due to drawbacks with both the "empty fields" approach or basing it on the fetched results:

Also, work on the summary column may affect how we choose to handle this. Setting to paused for now, and we'll revisit later once we've decided how to handle the summary column combined with default columns.
