tables dropdown column should be consistent within the GUI

[PatrikBjornAnde]

Scenario:

Wanted to be able to use feature "group by this field" (which is reached from for instance a folder content table), in any table in WC.

Issue/suggestion:

When wanted to use this feature in other areas and table, it is a limited drop-down menu available.

Now we cannot group and collapse common items which is a problem, especially when working with larger sets of data.

This request was initial raised during work in MPMLink / process plan area when wanted to group different items like parts, resources, sequences for a more convenient overview. Ie, when having +5000 parts consumed in the operation, how do I quickly find my resource? (using the uses or part allocation tabs are not preferred).

We are aware that it could be complex or things to consider to adopt this grouping in a structure view, but it should at least be consistent within "flat tables" to have a consistent way of working.

for additional details or use case and attachments, see case 12443257

There are no plans to introduce groups to structured data.
