Transform TableLink and ActionLink into Dropdown Menus

Overview

The Transform TableLink and ActionLink into Dropdown Menus plugin dynamically converts TableLink and ActionLink fields in both table and list components into dropdown menus. The selected columns or fields are hidden and displayed as dropdown items, providing a cleaner and more organized user experience. This plugin supports both table and list components, allowing for flexible data navigation. Manual indexing is also supported to fine-tune the transformation process, ensuring precise control over which fields are displayed as dropdowns.
