Change request: resolve ambiguity of "enabled" in the "Edit devices record" #42

Description

@hgot07

I'd like to suggest a change for the label "enabled" in the "Edit devices record".
The current label of the toggle switch is simply "enabled" and it's not clear WHAT is to be enabled/disabled. The function isn't clear and the label can be misleading.

It seems the function is "follow controller". It took some time until I learned it by checking the configuration pushed to the device.
So, it'll be much better to change the switch label to something like "sync_enabled" or "follow_controller" from just "enabled".
FYI, ecCLOUD the cloud controller by Edgecore provides a similar function labeled with "follow controller".

The current label is not only ambiguous in terms of its functionality but also misleading or error-prone.
By turning it off, a user might think that the device functionality is totally detached from the controller. In fact, however, the configuration remains on the device and it continues working as if the configuration synchronization has failed.
The user would naturally expect that all configurations are to be removed.
Making the label more descriptive would solve these problems.
