Unable to "hide all" features for a Table Component. Forced to manually select each field

[mahesh_s]

I am trying to modify a table component. By default when I pull in a table for a selected query source, the table shows all the columns. I then need to modify the table to only show a few columns, followed by performing Group By operations to show aggregated numbers.

However, ReTool doesn't allow me to "select all" fields and make them hidden, so that I can then un-select the three columns I need to show.

I am forced to manually select all columns to hide them. Can we introduce a simple "select all" feature that allows me to select all columns at once, so that I can perform visual operations on them with a single click?

The workaround I do is to create distinct code components and create tables from them. But it would be easier to have a single code component, and have multiple tables/charts pulling in from the same code where I can select each features to show in each chart.

Thanks,
Mahesh S.

P.S.:- If this feature already exists and I've managed to miss it, please let me know.

Hey @lindakwoo , @Tess , @Darren

+1 to this feature request — having a "Select All Columns" option for visibility settings in the table component would be a massive time-saver. Currently, hiding dozens of columns one by one is both tedious and error-prone, especially when working with wide datasets.

This kind of bulk operation would not only help streamline workflows, but also make Retool more user-friendly for both technical and non-technical users. A simple toggle like “Select All” with the ability to unhide only the needed columns would greatly improve productivity when setting up dashboards or reports.

It’s a small UX tweak, but one that would have a big impact across all projects, especially when reusing a single data source across multiple tables or charts. Hope this can be considered for the roadmap!
