Enhancement Request: Dynamic Column Display Based on Checkbox Selection in Table Visualization

Description:
We would like to have the ability in OAC to dynamically show or hide columns in a table visualization based on user checkbox selections (or similar interactive controls).

Currently, users must manually edit the visualization or use filters to limit rows, but there is no native way to control the visibility of specific columns interactively at runtime.

Example Use Case:

• A dashboard has multiple optional metrics (e.g., Revenue, Margin, Forecast, Variance).
• The user should be able to select checkboxes (e.g., "Show Revenue", "Show Margin") to control which columns appear in the table.
• The table visualization should automatically update based on those selections — hiding unchecked columns and showing checked ones.

Current Workaround:

• Creating multiple table visualizations for different combinations of columns, and using canvas visibility conditions to show/hide them.
• This approach is inefficient, increases maintenance complexity, and impacts performance.

Proposed Enhancement:
Add functionality in OAC that allows:

1. Table columns to be dynamically shown or hidden based on the value of a dashboard or variable (e.g., Boolean checkbox or parameter).
2. A built-in UI mechanism to bind column visibility to dashboard controls (similar to conditional formatting or filter actions).

Business Impact:

• Improves user experience and interactivity.
• Reduces dashboard clutter and maintenance effort.
• Makes OAC dashboards more flexible and comparable to BI tools that support runtime column toggling.

Priority: High
Requested For: Upcoming OAC releases

Sounds like an interesting use case, however I suppose we can take the advantage of filters and see if we can map the columns of the table to them. Have to check if that is the case. If not then this is a good to have enhancement.
