Move data tables to watch menu UI, no chip required

Why?

Data tables are a great thing, but they are currently a bit of a pain to use and sync across subrooms. I understand that room level data tables are being worked on, but I feel like this would bring more confusion if no changes are made, why would a data table placed in X subroom affect Y subroom?

My request

I suggest the data tables are moved to a new room setting, This Room\Settings\Data Tables, there you would be able to create, define and modify data tables just like you would before, but now instead of requiring a physical chip in a subroom, they are now room level, always

Even better, it would be nice if creators could choose what subrooms the data tables apply to, just in case for some reason you want 2 data table variants, one for X and Y subrooms, and one for Z and W subrooms

Note

This post was originally made asking that the data table chips be renamed to the name of the table being stored, this way I don’t have to use comments in combination with them, but then I thought, “Why not just have it be stored room-level?” I think not only would this be better for organization, it would also just make them wildly easier to use
