Redirect to New Field Page for Kanban Setup

[Bonapara]

Current Behavior

Kanban boards are based on Select fields. When I try to create a Kanban board for an object without a Select field, I receive an informative message with a redirection to the object settings page.

Goes to https://app.twenty.com/settings/objects/companies

Desired Behavior

Instead of being redirected to the object settings page, users should be redirected to the new field creation page, ideally with the Select field pre-selected.

Should redirect to https://app.twenty.com/settings/objects/companies/new-field/step-2

To redirect users to the new field creation page with the Select field pre-selected, update the redirection logic in the Kanban setup. Modify the navigateToSelectSettings function in /packages/twenty-front/src/modules/views/view-picker/hooks/useGetAvailableFieldsForKanban.ts to point to the new field creation page.

const navigateToSelectSettings = useCallback(() => {
  navigate(`/settings/objects/${objectSlug}/new-field/step-2`);
}, [navigate, objectSlug]);

Ensure the objectSlug is correctly passed to the hook and used in the URL.

Hi, I would like to handle this.
I believe the previous PR needs improvement. Should I continue working on that one or create a new PR?

After researching, it can be improved by implementing state on useNavigate hooks

Hi @Us3r-gitHub! I'll let @ijreilly tell you.

Hi @Us3r-gitHub and @AdvaitChandorkar07, sorry for the delay!
Advait has the right approach in his PR, no need to complicate things further.
Advait has deleted the repo in the meantime so I don't think he is interested in working on this anymore. I will copy the PR! @Us3r-gitHub feel free to find another issue to work on :) thank you for your interest in twenty

[Us3r-gitHub]

Yup, it's completely functional for navigation. However, it can be improved to suit the desired behavior

ideally with the Select field pre-selected.

@Us3r-gitHub oh right ! did not see that specification.
Would you like to work on this then? I think a good approach could be to add an optional type query parameter in settings/objects/companies/new-field/step-2

Should I create a new branch in my repository or continue working in him branch?

I'm new to the Open Source Community and still getting familiar with everything. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks :)

@Us3r-gitHub You can create a branch in your repository :) thank you !!
