Which context menu? OP was asking for right-clicking a data field in the Pivot
Table Layout dialog. Currently, only a double-click brings up the Data Field
dialog (testing with gtk3 VCL plugin).

Now I'm wondering what exactly the OP was asking:
A) make right-click a (more expected) alternative to the double-click we have
in the dialog, to then access the number formatting options under "Displayed
Value"? i.e. related to bug bug 148100; or
B) allow formatting of individual data fields (i.e. background colour, headers,
etc.) from the Data Field dialog?

If it is (A), I think it's fair enough to want to improve the UX and
accessibility of the dialog. I remember it took me a while to understand that I
needed to double-click a data field to see more options.

If it is (B), I don't see how it would be good UX to format data fields
individually in this way. A redesign like in the bug 131654 Heiko mentioned
might be a better opportunity to allow whole-table styling in the dialog (like
our current AutoFormats) while designing a Pivot Table.

In any case, this request needs clarifying.
