Add Series (part) attribute

[ttomasini]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I would like to search, sort and filter for a specific series of a component product line. Since this is a value which is usually present at nearly every supplier, I think it would make sense to add it as a new (optional) attribute to the "Manufacturer" section of a part.

Describe the solution you'd like I think the following changes would have to be implemented (probably not complete list):

• Add (product) series to part entity
• Add series to view(s) -> see simple proposal in first screenshot
• Add series to new and edit screen -> see simple proposal in second screenshot
• Add series to datatable filter form
• Add series to datatable attribute column display settings dropdown
• ensure that the search also scans the product series values
• possibly: add "Series" to search options
• Pull series from info providers (e.g. DigiKey: from GET /Search/v3/Products/{digiKeyPartNumber} -> obj.Series.Value)

Describe alternatives you've considered An easy (and dirty) hack would be to just store the series as a parameter. This is what I am doing right now. Unfortunately the value of the info provider attribute series is currently not stored to the parameters because it is a separate attribute (outside of the parameter array).

Additional context What do you think about this? I am happy to receive honest feedback.
