This is probably a terrible idea.
It probably will not work.

But I got bored at the end of my flight home from BADCamp, so here's what I have.

To be honest, this seems to be something for contrib, but i guess parts of it are worth to include,
for example the change in the ViewEditFormController

+  if ($form_state['values']['ui_show_listing_filters'] != $config->get('fieldable')) {

This seems to be wrong :)

Yeah, I wouldn't plan on actually enabling this from within core, this would be just to ensure that it's possible.

Title: Allow Views to be fieldable » Allow ConfigEntity types to be fieldable
Assigned: tim.plunkett » Unassigned
Status: Needs work » Closed (won't fix)

Reasons this is won't fix:

  • field_has_data() assumes a base table, ConfigEntities don't have one
  • field_sql_storage_field_storage_write() assumes an integer entity ID, ConfigEntities have machine names
  • ConfigStorageController::invokeHooks() doesn't invoke field_attach_*() hooks
  • It's probably a bad idea.

That is, unless someone writes a field storage backend to write to YAML, or we just shove the fields in there ourselves...

It's not enough. That issue uses ->get() now so it could grab some fields but the code for full field support with delta and columns is not there. And, it does not address all the other problems.
