[FR] Add Custom Fields in Epic Overview

Please describe the problem / need you are trying to solve. Custom Fields are a great way to make Epics fit the various needs of the countless different projects Taiga is being used for. However sometimes custom fields are used to track rather important ideas. Of such importance that it would be amazing to sort the epics according to that custom field / have that custom field pop up in the epic overview. In our case (we do product development of industrial goods) it is certain deadlines. Not having an option to track these custom fields in the epic overview can be rather frustrating at times.

Describe the feature or the improvement you'd like and what are you trying to achieve. The feature would be rather simple: Add the possibility to add a custom field to the epic overview: https://i.imgur.com/QZHilLo.png

Describe alternatives you've considered Tracking these deadline externally, outside of Taiga ---> Very painful Clicking each epic to see the custom field ---> painful The progress bar doe also not quite help

I think this feature could be implemented rather easily and would allow to customize Taiga to an ever broad audience. In my case it is actually the ONE concern my team has with taiga and has led to discussions about abandoning Taiga even though we LOVE every other aspect of the software.

Hi! We appreciate that you feel comfortable using our platform. 😊 We are planning changes on how to use custom fields and how to increase the value of the epic view. I'm pretty sure you will have a solution then. (The updated roadmap is not currently available, but it will be.) Thanks for your feedback!

@miryamgduque Piggy-backing on this issue to say great news that there is a roadmap. Where is it visible, and indeed, where do development conversations happen? It would be nice to be able to participate.
