feat: ability to set default desk page

[nextchamp-saqib]

Currently, if user has to display customisations across users, he has to edit the Standard Desk Pages for eg. Accounting Page in ERPNext.

Now for standard pages, the changes are stored in JSON rather than database, on migrate or new releases these customisations on standard pages gets reset since JSON is reset.

The above problem can be rectified by creating a new Desk Page extending the standard one, but this won't replace the standard one, but it will be shown beside it.

This PR introduces a check called 'Is Default' which can be checked if a desk page is extended from another, this check behaves same as, user-defined customised page but it is for all users.
i.e a Custom Accounting Page extending standard Accounting with Is Default checked will be shown to all users.

---

To customise a standard page:

• Duplicate the standard one
• Uncheck Is Standard, Check Extends Another Page, Check Is Default
• In Extends field select the Standard Page
• Customise the page by removing or adding stuffs.
• Save the document

Now reload the desk and check if the standard page shows the above customised version.

Great! I was just going to post this issue... glad to see there's a PR already. Will the user also be able to set Custom Desk Pages as Default?

Kind regards,

Just for clarity, I'm referring to custom Desk Pages that are not extending a Standard one. The system manager should still be able to set such Desk Pages as default for all users

Thanks
