What this solves

Issue #489 describes how child items in the backlog only show their own key and title. This makes similarly named child items difficult to distinguish because users must open each item to discover its parent.

This PR displays the parent directly beside the child item’s title, including:

• the permission-checked parent key
• the parent title
• a visual parent indicator

Parent information is constrained and truncated on narrow screens, with the full value available as a tooltip. This keeps the child title as the primary content and prevents long parent titles from taking over the row.

Additional improvements

Rather than hard-coding another permanently visible field, this PR adds a Configure Fields menu for backlog rows.

Users can choose to display:

• Parent
• Milestone
• Status
• Priority
• Assignee
• Due date
• Story points

The selected fields are saved per user and backlog scope, including workspace, collection, and global backlogs.

Parent, status, and story points remain enabled by default, so the existing backlog presentation is preserved while adding the parent context requested in #489.

Empty values are not rendered. Long values truncate responsively, and parent information continues to respect workspace permissions.

Why this is useful beyond the original issue

The original issue demonstrates that backlog rows sometimes need more context than only a key and title. Making row metadata configurable solves the immediate parent problem while allowing different teams to choose the information they need without permanently increasing visual clutter for everyone.

It also provides a reusable path for backlog metadata instead of adding every future field as another always-visible element.

Here are a couple of screenshots showing the changes in action.

Backlog view

Child items now display their parent information directly in the backlog.

Configurable fields

The Configure Fields menu lets users choose which metadata is shown in backlog rows.

Great, merging this in to ship with 0.9.5 - I will consolidate the other configurable parent fields to work the same way so we have a consistent behavior across views
