Hello,  
I have columns being created dynamically in the flow, but I need to restrict the number of columns. How can I either delete all columns after column number X or delete all columns after column named Y?

Thank you.

Hey there! Can you use a Column Filter and switch it from `remove` to `keep`, and list out the columns you would like to keep? That way you would be removing all other columns, regardless of how many there are.
