Keep Columns function for pipe line builder

Would it be useful to have a ‘keep columns’ functions. Right now I add all columns and deselect the ones I want to keep. (maybe there is a better way?)

Hey @mellerbeck are you talking about for when you select columns? You can currently select all or deselect all using the button in the top right of the board:

of course, but can you see how having a keep would be easier in some cases

Sorry not sure if I’m understanding correctly. What’s the difference between keep cols and select cols? I was assuming keep was specifying which columns you wanted to keep (or discard from your first message?) in your dataset.

Sorry, me just not reading closely :slight_smile: I didn’t know there was a ‘select’ transform.

I would propose to add a bit more to the documentation

https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/pb-functions-transform/selectV1

(Maybe show an output example)

Also, on the Drop Column documentation it could show that select does the opposite?
