Pass field context as third argument to matchFieldOptionValue()

[gr2m]

• I checked all open feature requests and none of them matched my problem.

What’s missing?

The current matchFieldOptionValue constructor options receives two arguments

function (fieldOptionValue, userValue) {
  // return true or false
}

I suggest we pass a 3rd context argument

function (fieldOptionValue, userValue, context) {
  // return true or false
}

context would look like this

{
  field: {
    name: "My Field",
    userName: "myField",
    // maybe also `type`, and `options`, but we could add that later
  }
}

That way we could add more context in future, e.g. project, which would be the current project instance.

Why?

The way options are matched might differ depending on the field
