Description
Builds on top of AB#128193. This change adds a new related-child calculated field syntax. For example, {{data.teststatus(first: 1, sortField: "grade", sortOrder: "desc").grade}}. It wires it into the backend aggregation pipeline early enough for parent grids and cards to display, sort, and filter on it, preserves the newer :text display-mode calculated field behavior, and also updates the Back Office editor autocomplete so users can discover both raw/text field placeholders and reverse child relation selectors.
How to use: create a child resource and form, add a resource field pointing to the parent resource, set a unique relatedName on that field, create child records linked to parent records, then add a calculated field on the parent resource using {{data.(first: 1, sortField: "", sortOrder: "desc").}} and display it in the parent grid or card.
