New features

Primary attribute

Admins who rely on visual communication to convey asset status to users can now select a key attribute that will consistently be displayed across all Media Library pages and views. In both Card and Mosaic views, the primary attribute is displayed on the asset, while in List view, it's highlighted in the first colomn. This ensures that crucial information is always readily available and prominently showcased.
