Description

Allow users to configure the visibility of columns in the index panel. Users should be able to choose which columns are displayed or hidden according to their preferences.

There should be a menu with checkboxes for each column, and only the checked columns should be rendered.

By @adrianthedev in https://github.com/avo-hq/avo/issues/2165 :

Have a place where the user can show/hide columns.

This setting would be saved somewhere on the app. The DB or local storage (we need to research this).

Example

For this resource config, the end-user should be able to hide the owner field if they want to.

  field :name, as: :text
  field :description, as: :text
  field :owner, as: :belongs_to

Research direction
Investigate how Avo currently renders the index columns (likely in app/views/avo/index/ or similar). Review the referenced issue #2165 for discussion on storage (localStorage vs DB). Decide on storage approach and implement a dropdown menu with checkboxes to toggle column visibility. Consider using Stimulus or Turbo Frames for UI interactivity. Ensure the setting persists per user session or globally.
