Feature Request: Dynamic Column Selection for Table View and more importantly CSV Export

[Saddam]

Dear Super Hero(AppSheet Team),
I would like to request a feature that allows users to dynamically select which columns to display in the Table View and include in the CSV export. This feature would provide the flexibility to customize the table view without modifying the underlying data structure.

Key Features:

1. Column Selection in Table View:

   • Ability to select and deselect columns directly from the app interface.

   • Columns that are deselected should automatically be hidden from the view.

   • This setting should be saved per user, allowing personalized views.

2. Column Selection for CSV Export:

   • Option to choose which columns to include in the exported CSV file.

   • Only the selected columns should be exported, aligning with the table view settings.

Benefits:

• Improved user experience with more control over data visibility.

• Faster data analysis by reducing unnecessary columns.

• Simplified data exports with only relevant information.
  
  
  

Use Case:

Sometimes, users need to share CSV files with specific departments, and not all columns may be relevant to every department. For example, an operations team might only need task status and due dates, while the finance team might only require cost and budget-related columns. This feature would make it easier to share focused, department-specific data without revealing unnecessary information.
