Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As a ZE extender, I'd like the ability to add extra attributes to the Show Attributes webview for data sets. This is already possible but could be enhanced.

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. Pass the attributes returned from the dataSet MVS API in the DsInfo context object.
  2. Align all columns across multiple tables for both core and extender attributes.
  3. Consider displaying a % character after the number for "Used Space" attribute.
  4. Support numbers with thousands separators instead of highlighting them as strings.

Describe alternatives you've considered

As a workaround, extenders can cache data set attributes when listing them, so they can later be returned from fetchAttributes without making an additional API call.
