Merged idea
This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit SPF-I-5197 Option to explicitly select the columns to include when inserting columns (rather than only exclude columns).

Inserting columns should remember the added columns and not the ignored ones Merged

When I use Insert > Columns... I can specify which columns from data table X I want to add to my data table A. However in the Source Information of A Spotfire remembers it the other way around and stores the columns that were ignored. This is an issue when the data table X changes. When you refresh data table A, you will get more columns as new columns in X will be added since they are not listed in the ignored ones.

    Actually, I disagree. I think it is good that Spotfire remembers the ignored columns, exactly for the same reason the poster doesn't like it :-) However, it might be good to have an option after refreshing to remove the newly added columns. But it should be an Option.
