Assign custom fields to sections

Proposed functionality

It would be convenient to choose where to place custom fields. Not all information in the Custom fields section should be located there. We suggest creating a choice of placing a custom field, for example, in the device, management or other sector. We are faced with the problem of finding a custom field. We need to look for many unique data in custom fields, for this we use a filter every time, which slows down the process of work. Search without a filter does not find a custom field.

Use case

We see such solutions to this problem.
1.Custom fields are moved to sections and thus the search finds them without a filter.
2.Custom fields are included in the search without a filter.

This will speed up the search time and make it easier to navigate.

Custom fields are intentionally called out and organized separately to avoid confusion with built-in fields.

We suggest creating a choice of placing a custom field, for example, in the device, management or other sector.

Not only is this technically infeasible, it would be very difficult to accommodate from a UI design perspective. We're going to keep custom fields in their own section, but you may be interested in #8495, which seeks to provide better control over how the fields are grouped within that section.
