alternate field set for displaying has_many on show page

Created by: jmmastey

Hey, running into an issue with a client and I wanted to see if y'all would be interested in a PR for either of these potential solutions.

I have a record Company that has_many Users. I also have a users dashboard, with five or six columns defined on UserController#COLLECTION_ATTRIBUTES. My problem is that showing a Company causes all six attributes to be displayed, which in the constrained space looks really poor:

Two solutions I'd be willing to implement and I think could work to fix this issue:

  1. Allow users to define an optional EMBEDDED_COLLECTION_ATTRIBUTES on UserDashboard, which the has_many partial can read to get the appropriate columns.
  2. Allow some way to configure a max desired number of columns to show in the embedded collection.

Thanks! Really like the project.
