 For new generation labeling, in order to get field-based rotation to work
 (or even show fields as available), you must also set x and y fields.
 Additionally, the rotations are not applied unless you edit the layer and
 move a label.

 The expectation is that you can set a field for rotation whether or not
 you have x and y position fields for a given layer. Additionally, the
 rotation should be applied without having to first edit the individual
 labels.
