Option to Hide New Properties by Default in Page Views

Current Behavior
Any property or score (including rules) added to a blueprint automatically appears under all card widgets within that blueprint’s entity page views.
Issue
I have blueprints with entity page views containing multiple configured cards that group properties for different purposes. When a new score or property is added to an entity, all of those cards are instantly prefilled with the data. This results in unnecessary clutter and confusion across the cards.
Suggestion
Hide all properties by default, as was done under tables (https://roadmap.getport.io/ideas/p/property-exclusion-in-tables). Alternatively, allow the user to choose whether a new property or score should appear under widgets.

When adding a new property to a blueprint, it should NOT be automatically added to existing widgets and views.
Problem Impact
- Extra manual work: Must manually remove the new property from dozens of widgets/tabs where it's not needed
- Easy to forget: Often forget to remove from aggregation widgets or specific tabs
- User confusion: Forgotten properties appear to end users, causing confusion and unnecessary questions
- Poor UX: The default behavior assumes properties should be everywhere, but in practice they're usually needed in 1-2 specific places
Alternative solution:
Add a checkbox during property creation which reads:
"Add this property to all existing views (not recommended)"
