Often I will want to add all or most columns from a Table's data into the props.columns array and configure them, however every time I have to add them manually. It would be nice if there was a context option (similar to embedded view params) to add all columns from the data.

In the meantime, you could add a function to your library that you would use in a script transform to populate the columns. When it's populated, remove the binding and you're done.
It's a bit more steps than a built-in functionality, but while waiting for it to be implemented... it can save you some time.
Yeah, that's what I ended up doing and I saved it for future use. I was going to post it but got carried away working 
Here it is, in case it's useful to anyone:
Just copy the json, paste it to the binding of the props.columns, then remove it. It'll create items in props.columns for each field in the props.data

This works only on datasets.
Here's a quick modification to also handle arrays of objects (like the default values when you pull out a table):
json:

Here's the transform code:

}
headers = value.columnNames if isinstance(value, BasicDataset) else value[0].keys()
c = []
for col in headers:
dd = copy.deepcopy(d)
dd['field'] = col
c.append(dd)
return c
There might be other types to handle ? I don't know.
