Proposed functionality

Hello,

It would be great in the custom fields we create could also be coloured like the default status field?

I've got an API importing some other status metrics (like Online, Offline etc), it would be great to colour these.

Thanks

Use case

Visually important, we have added so much live custom data from an API that is updated every hour to our devices, having some colour on a couple of fields would be important to us and stand out.

Database changes

None sure
