New filters and dimensions for better data analysis

Account and space admins can now completely hide all location-based custom fields in Custom Item Types (CITs), ensuring only the fields defined by your CIT are visible. This eliminates the clutter of the More Fields section and creates a cleaner interface.
Please note that this section is visible by default but can be adjusted in settings.
