What happened?

Steps to reproduce

1. Create new folder in obsidian.
2. Right-click folder, select New-db folder.
3. Open Untitled database in respective folder.
4. Click + to add column to table.
5. Under "Select an existing column to add", put cursor in Search column text field.
6. Note "database-plugin" shows up.

I expected it to not show up.

Thoughts

I suspect this comes from the Untitled database file created in this instance.

I think any modification should only omit the entry of the current database. If there are more databases then those should still lead to "database-plugin showing up.

What platform were you using?

Desktop

I think we do not need to exclude this default field.

You can apply formulas for its value and could be use cases where is needed but I am open to discussion

This caused a little bit of friction because I was using the key suggestion to find keys to clean up. I found it odd that it would suggest a column with the database-plugin key even though the table wouldn't present a file containing it. When I went to sort the column by ascending or descending, no file with the database-plugin key would present itself. To clarify, I'm suggesting the ignoring of the database-plugin entry in the one file that is presenting the table.

Commit effd737 this could be a solution., If the column itself acquire more uses in the future we can undo the commit =)

Sounds good. I'll give it test when it's released.
