I hope that if this is considered for implementation (which I support), the team will try to make the solution a bit more general, or at least build it in such a way that it can be extended in the future more aspects of the UI can be controlled by data in databases. Here is what I was thinking:

> With the excitement and discussions around [[IN DEV] Entity-level permissions](https://community.fibery.io/t/in-dev-entity-level-permissions/2163) I have been thinking about field level permissions. I know that the Fibery team has said that field level permissions are not on the roadmap and unlikely in the near term (see below from recent posts as well as [Field-level permissions](https://community.fibery.io/t/field-level-permissions/2799) request): There has also been some discussion that maybe view permissions and multi entity views might make this not as a big deal: However, I was thinking that there might be another …

I think if there is a possibility of [colouring cards](https://community.fibery.io/t/aproved-color-coding-of-entire-card-entity-not-just-bar-of-color/654) in the future, it might be good to be able to predefine the colours in some way and then have that value as the colour rather than having to explicitly define this in every view from scratch. I feel this enables long-term customization/consistency better. If this is something that has support, I would also suggest that it would be real…
