Programmatically hide or show vision table column

For the standard table component, the easest way I have found is to store the complete dataset in a custom property, I usually call this rawData or something similar. Then when whatever event occurs that you want to add or remove column/s build a new dataset using system.dataset.filterColumns to return a dataset with only the columns you want.

It's possible but has some caveats with it.

This post shows how to get the columnsAttributeData and sets a column to be editable during runtime. You can probably achieve what you want manipulating the hidden attribute.

I also think it's important to read this:
