Text-mode for Card Custom Fields on Kanban Boards

Description - It would be beneficial to have a Text-mode option when adding custom fields to a card on a Kanban board.

Why is this feature important to you - There are many project-level fields which would be beneficial to include on a card, which are not available in the existing list of Task fields (when adding fields to a card). For example, I would like to include the Project Owner Name, however only Project Owner ID is available in the list. Similarly, I would like to include the Portfolio Name, however only Portfolio ID is available in the list.

How would you like the feature to work - Include a Text-mode button within the Cards section of the Configure menu. This button would open a Text-mode window where the user could edit the fields being included on the card. In my above examples, I would be able to reference project:owner:name and project:portfolio:name. This could function similarly to the Board Intake filters which already have this functionality (a Text-Mode option when creating/editing board intake filters).

Current Behaviour - Within the Cards section of the Configure menu in a Kanban board, you can choose to add either Task fields or Issue fields. This gives you a selectable menu of fields which you can choose to add to a card. No Text-mode is available.
