Closes [1918](https://github.com/twentyhq/core-team-issues/issues/1918).
- For the first point in the issue, we just show the deactivated entries
along with the deactivated text.
---
- For the second point, we show a banner and control the
enabled/disabled state of save button depending on whether we're
allowing the user to create table with the typed name.
- For example, we do not want to allow the user to create a table with
reserved name, so we disable the save button without showing a banner.
- Similarly, we do not want the user to create a table with a name that
already exists in the database. In this case, we show a banner and we
also disable the save button.
- Finally, we do not want to allow the user to create a table where
singular and plural name are the same. Therefore, we disable the save
button for names like `works`.
---
- For the third point, if we add the delete button, it logically means
that we allow the user to delete a custom object/field even it has not
been deactivated yet, so did that.
- Upon deleting the object/field, if we wait for the metadata to refetch
before we navigate, this is what we see because the path does not exist
any longer after deletion and we're waiting for refetch on the path
until we navigate away.

- To avoid this page from appearing, I replaced awaiting refetch to not
awaiting refetch and redirecting while the refetch happens in the
background.
- Therefore, when we delete something, there is a slight delay for when
it is actually cleared out from the list, but the Not Found view does
not appear on the screen.

- I tried optimistically removing the object/field from the metadata,
but it leads to some issues (crashes the app) and I have not been able
to find a solution for it yet.
- Therefore, instead of getting stuck at perfection and blocking myself,
I stopped getting into the issue further and created this PR by ensuring
that the desired functionality works.
<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
---
> [!NOTE]
> Display deactivated objects/fields by default, add delete actions with
confirmation, and unify metadata name computation (auto-suffix reserved
keywords) across front/back with conflict checks in object creation.
>
> - **Frontend (Settings/Data Model)**:
> - **Visibility/UX**: Show `Deactivated` labels for objects/fields;
filters default to include inactive (`showDeactivated`/`showInactive`
true); replace field action dropdown with chevron link.
> - **Delete flows**: Add delete buttons for custom objects/fields with
confirmation modals and background refetch to avoid Not Found flashes.
> - **Creation/Edit validation**: Add name conflict detection banner in
`SettingsDataModelObjectAboutForm` and disable Save on conflicts;
simplify `metadataLabelSchema` to use computed name; form fields
validate on change and sync API names.
> - **Shared (twenty-shared/metadata)**:
> - Add `computeMetadataNameFromLabel` util (slugify+camelCase) and
`RESERVED_METADATA_NAME_KEYWORDS`; auto-append `Custom` to reserved
names; export constants/utilities.
> - **Backend**:
> - Migrate to shared `computeMetadataNameFromLabel`; update validators
to use shared reserved keywords with new messages; allow deletion of
active custom fields/objects (keep standard guards); adjust
services/decorators accordingly.
> - **Tests/Stories**:
> - Update unit/integration snapshots for new reserved-name messages and
behaviors; add missing i18n/router decorators in stories.
