UI Component to render ingested YAML properties as a Data Table on Entity Pages

Currently, within Harness IDP, there is no UI component available in the layout builder to render ingested custom YAML properties as a structured data table on an Entity page. When ingesting complex metadata (such as compliance checklists, custom service metrics, or lists of resources), viewing this data as raw YAML or a basic list is difficult for developers to read and parse quickly.
Current Workaround:
As advised by Harness Support, the current workaround is to use the EntityAdditionalInfoCard. However, this does not allow for tabular formatting, which limits the visual organization of the software catalog.
Proposed Solution:
Please introduce a new layout component (e.g., an EntityDataTableCard) for the IDP layout builder. This component should allow admins to map specific ingested YAML properties (especially arrays or key-value objects) and render them dynamically as a table with columns and rows on the Entity Page.
Value Proposition:
Adding this capability will significantly improve the developer experience by making the software catalog highly readable. It allows teams to present complex, custom ingested data in a clean, easily scannable format directly within the developer portal.
