Idea: Colour-code empty, uniform and unique values or read-only fields?

Data > Manage Fields should highlight empty fields so as to speed the process of identifying and deleting them

This can now be achieved in one go by "Data > Operations > Delete empty data".

I think all uniform fields (all the same value) should be highlighted as such. All null values in a field is a special case of uniform fields that should also be highlighted in a different colour. Unique fields (no duplicates, including no duplicate blanks) should also be highlighted as they may then play a role in downstream Merges/Joins. Fields marked read-only that cannot be edited could also be color-coded or otherwise indicated.

Welcome!
