Inconsistent formatting of Collection fields in entity views

Not sure how much of this is intentional, but the inconsistency looks unprofessional.

  • Different font size and weight between field name of collection lookups vs. native collections
  • Different background colors, even between two collection lookups
  • Collection lookups are missing the DB Icon that is displayed for native collections
  • Cannot create additional views for collection lookups, as we can on native collections
  • The “expansion caret” > is always visible for collapsed collections, but only visible on hover for expanded collections.
  • The “expansion caret” for collection lookups is slightly offset from the caret for native collections

When the ‘new’ relation views were rolled out, it wasn’t easy to implement them for read-only fields (like lookups and formula fields). As a result, these field continued to utilise the ‘old’ relation field UI.
