ColVis column chooser taking too much height with many columns
ColVis column chooser taking too much height with many columns
I'm using ColVis on a table that is shown into an overflow div with an horizontal scrollbar. This table has many columns (about 25).
When i click on the ColVis button to choose which columns to display, the list of columns gets way too long and the user ends up having to scroll to get to the columns he may want to remove.
Is it possible to get some kind of custom ui/css going for the chooser? If not is there an easy way to maybe split the list and make 2 or 3 lists with max 10 elements and display them side-by-side ? A chooser with multiple-columns instead of 1 column with the full list ?

Please have a look at my ColVis extension which I posted here:

It quite likely provides a solution to your problem.
