Is there a way to directly access one of the fields in tasks.fields in a Progress Bar?

Hi, first of all this library is really really great, thank you for the great work.

As for the subject of this post, I currently have a progress bar defined by:

progress_bar = Progress(
    "[blue]{task.description}",
    BarColumn(),
    "[progress.percentage]{task.percentage:>3.0f}%",
    TimeRemainingColumn(),
    "[yellow]{task.fields}",  # <-- relevant part
)
task = self.progress_bar.add_task(label, total=total_frames)

I am updating it with bar.update(self.task, advance=1, fps=f"{fps:.2f}") and it runs just fine, with the progress bar displaying my fps as part of a dict, which would look something like {'fps': '6.60'} at the end of the progress bar. This is a bit unsightly in my opinion, as I’d really prefer not to print it as a dict, with all its {s and 's. I would prefer to be able to chose exactly in what format my fields get printed in the progress bar.

Is there a way to chose exactly which field to show and with what format, without printing as a dict? I tried things like "[yellow]{task.fields.fps}fps" or "[yellow]{task.fields['fps']}fps" but it doesn’t work.

If this is not the case of me missing something obvious, it would be great to have this as a feature as it would allow us to chose how our custom fields look like.

Thanks for the awesome library by the way!

Perfect, that fixed it, thanks a lot again! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dev answer so quickly on such a large open source project, kudos!

PD: For anyone reading this issue, if you want ipdb or pdb to work with progress bars set:

redirect_stderr=False
redirect_stdout=False
auto_refresh=False

in your Progress() constructor, and refresh your progress bar manually in your update method by setting refresh=True there.

Both are writing to stdout, so it might be a problem.

Possibly the refresh thread is making it worse. Try setting auto_refresh=False for testing
