"Default" attribute column #34453

It will be great to have an option in the Form design to set a column as a default column. This will be useful in many use cases. For example, when users opens the form view, it will display the default column instead of the first column.

Also, the default column can be used for QGIS mobile apps to display it for quick edit instead of showing the whole form.

@saberraz Isn't it what the display column/expression already does (to set in layer properties) ?

Hi Harrissou, it is to some extent. But it is not clear in the form design. Also, Display supports expressions, which makes it difficult to edit if it is used for example in mobile.
