attribute table - Possibility to override display field label

[Gaetanbrl]

Description

With the aim of display complexe attributes for many users profils, some users asked to rename many fiels. This seems not possibile in mapstore config (attribute table plugin).

With this enhancement, it could be possible to display a label for a specific attribute/field name to ease user understanding.

Here an example to rename "s_r0.6" field name by "scenario_0.6" with new displayLabel config property (could be another prop name) :

{
  "name": "FeatureEditor",
  "cfg": {
    "maxZoom": 21,
    "customEditorsOptions": {
      "rules": [
        {
          "regex": {
            "attribute": "s_r0.6",
            "url": "regex to match a specific url",
            "typeName": "layerName"
          },
          "displayLabel": "scenario_0.6"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

@Gaetanbrl as far as I understand you need this that will be available starting from v2023.02.00

thanks @tdipisa, It's a great feature !

Just to undestand, if we change an alias for a random field, the attribute table (featureEditor) will display this alias into header col label ?

[tdipisa]

@Gaetanbrl yes, the alias is used in the whole application (eg. style editor, filter layer and so on) where the attribute name is displayed somehow.
