- Add `columnManagerApplyActionPosition()` to control Apply button placement. - Add `columnManagerGroupsOnly()` to hide individual columns in the manager. - Auto-close the column manager dropdown on "Apply". - Add documentation for these features.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
-
Please remove the ability to control the apply action position
-
Please update the filters dropdown behaviour to auto-close on apply too, so its consistent with the column manager (also for deferred chart widget filters)
-
Instead of hiding grouped columns in the manager, make column groups always collapsible (regardless of extra config) in the manager, and then change the
columnManagerGroupsOnly()config to becollapsedColumnManagerGroups()which collapses all the groups by default.

Description
This pull request improves the Column Manager’s usability and flexibility by introducing new configuration options and enhanced behavior.
It allows developers to control where the Apply action is displayed, optionally restrict the column manager to display only column group titles, and improves the user experience by automatically closing the column manager after applying changes.
These improvements were driven by real-world usage in large Filament applications with a high number of columns (e.g. 80+ columns):
Visual changes

N/A – changes are primarily behavioral and structural.
The
columnManagerGroupsOnly()option significantly reduces the vertical height of the manager by hiding individual column toggles within groups.Functional changes
