We love using icons in Fibery, but their use is limited to simply being prepended to the full name of a field usually.

Because of this, readability can quickly become an issue while using fields in a board or list view.

In order to improve flexibility, it would be nice to be able to choose if a given field shows in full or if only the icon should be displayed. A bit like the “avatar of” functionnality, but applied to every icon.

The option could be enabled by ticking a box in the “fields” drop-down menu.
