Allow Custom Fields to be configured per List instead of per Board

I use Trello to manage different types of professional files within the same board. Each list represents a different type of work (e.g., Successions, Personal Tax, Corporate Reorganizations).

Currently, Custom Fields are available for every card on the board, even when they only apply to one list. This makes boards cluttered and less efficient.

It would be extremely useful to allow Custom Fields to be assigned to specific lists only. Cards would automatically inherit the appropriate fields based on the list they belong to, while keeping the flexibility to move cards between lists if needed.

This would greatly improve Trello for professionals who manage multiple workflows within the same board.
