Add 'Deletable' attribute for Properties (column/table/document)

Properties have the 'Editable' attribute in Spotfire that allows the creator of the property (via API) to specify if the attribute is editable or not.

Editable means that the user can either edit the property value or delete the property.

It would be great if you limit 'Editable' attribute to only allow editing property values (but not delete it).

Also add a new 'Deletable' attribute to control if the attribute can be deleted.

    We found out that the attribute IsStandard allows a native property to be Editable and not deletable. We cannot use IsStandard attribute with custom column properties when we create the property!

    We managed to make it happen through .net reflection!

    So it would be great if you can enable IsStandard attribute for custom column properties.
