Makes sense as a step forward. A few small things:
Should we try to align across? Or are those flexible values? Should we avoid the icon here? We should use sentence case here:
We should also have a minimum gap-width between columns, otherwise we'd probably need a colon after text items in the left column. |

Oh good spot, they are actually aligned, I think I took two of the screenshots before the final tweak: 
Label is 35%, value fills remaining space after 4px gap. This felt like a reasonable balance but obviously we can tweak.
Potentially, yes. It throws the alignment off. Probably one to discuss separately as it would affect other layouts.
Agree. Though I'd also note that sync status is one of those fields where the purpose can be inferred from the value alone. I'd like to follow-up with a treatment for such fields, potentially a badge like we've been exploring for media:

What?
This PR attempts to update the display of fields in data views Grid layout, including an option for consumers to specify the orientation of appearance; column or row.
Why?
Currently only the field values are visible. A tooltip reveals the field name on hover, but this isn't the most accessible approach. Additionally, this pattern means you cannot always tell which field a value refers to at a glance. For instance a timestamp could be interpreted several ways.
By arranging the field name and value in a row we can display the necessary information without consuming additional space. An option to arrange in a column means fields with much longer values (e.g. template description) can be displayed in a readable manner.
This change also moves us closer to the arrangement of data we find in the 'Details panel' and latest Inspector designs.
In the graphic below see before/after examples for templates, pages, and patterns.
How?
In
packages/dataviews/src/view-grid.jsthe theFlexcomponent that displays the field will switch betweenrow(default) andcolumnarrangements based on whether the the consumer configures agridDisplayDirectionproperty on the field.To ensure rows take up minimal space the value will truncate accordingly. Consumers can use the
columnorientation when more space is required.Testing Instructions
Notes
As a follow-up it might be nice to allow consumers to say that certain field name are omitted from display. This can be useful when the name can be inferred from the value, e.g. the template description.
