[FR] Make generated fields available as table columns in entry index

[thupsi]

Similarly to being able to display "generated field" values in cards (thanks for that! 🎉), it would help a lot to have them available as table columns in the entries index!

This would be great. I need a generated field (sourced from a matrix field) as a column in a section's entries table to properly sort them.

Worth mentioning that this would also help with surfacing "Content Block" fields in the entries index table.

I've temporarily worked around this with the Preparse Field plugin. The field is hidden and simply stores the value of the generated field.

Yeah, I've used this plugin for the same purpose, and I'm gratefull to the author for providing it for free, but I would be glad to have "one less plugin". 🙂

It's frustrating because generated fields are sooo close!

What is a bit weird is that you can create a filter with the generated field.
