Move Custom Fields Table to DataTable

1 Initial Problem

With ILIAS 10 we will want and have to move the current table showing the list of Custom Fields for the user profile to a DataTable from UI-Components. This will lead to a few changes as the current implementation relies on form inputs inside the table.

2 Conceptual Summary

The table will be moved to a DataTable. The following changes will be made:

• The table will become read only.
• We will additionally show the field type in the table.
• The setting "Required", now under "Access" will receive its own column.
• The column "Export / Search / Certificate" will be split up into three columns "Exportable", "Searchable", and "Visible in Certificates".
• Each row will have the actions: "Edit" and "Delete".
• "Delete" will also be a MultiAction.
• "Add New Field" and "Edit" will be opened in a RoundtripModal.
• The two modals will mostly be identlcal, but only the modal "Add New Field" will contain a radio group to select the field type. In the modal for editing the field type is shown. If the type is set to Selection List an input will be shown to add/edit options. This input does not exist yet and needs to be adapted.
• We propose to allow to change the Selection List between single selection and multiselect.
• We would like to remove the "WYSIWYG" from the label of the "Text Area" in preparation for moving the field to a markdown field.
