Hi, this would be a very appreciated feature, especially since the Unhide all is right below Hide in Report view and it is really easy to accidentally click that instead of Hide in Report view.

Please add this. I've just realised how much a pain in the ass it is to delete multiple column/fields. Fortunately I can create SQL views to format the data before it reaches Power BI but I would rather have done it all in one place really.

Really frustrating while having to select columns/measures one by one to delete/hide/unhide/apply data types

It would also be great that if you accidentally hit the "Unhide All", after you've spent an hour hiding dozens of fields, you could 'undo' that action.

Needed to hide dozens of fields and it was quite boring to do it one by one. I wish this simple functionality will be implemented soon.

I want to select multiple columns to create same data type attributes. Annoying that I have to repeat this action.

So frustrating when you have 50+ fields that you want to hide in a table...
