I would like to be able to modify the columns that appear when pressing the "+" button when editing a widget or filtering.  There are columns I would like to hide based on the text of the column.  

I currently have a partial solve by setting an JavaScript interval and scanning the DOM with jQuery.  However, when I hide columns this way it interferes with the scrolling of the modal.  It appears the results are loaded in chunks based on how far you have scrolled.  With the columns hidden, the scrolling does not appear so no new records are able to be loaded.

Is there a way to disable loading in chunks or is there an event that I can subscribe to in a plugin that would give me access to the results when pressing the "+" button?
