Is there a why to create a local dynamic CDT in SAIL? I would be asking the user

@brandonc Just to add to other's valuable suggestions, I would like to put forward my suggestion based on your description 'asking the users to give me the names of the columns and displaying the information in a grid'.

My understanding as per this sentence is that you may want to surface the data in the grid upon the selection of the columns. If it is so, it could be doable by playing with the components used inside the grid and APN_uiPagingGridAutoColumns, one of the Appian Common Objects, is a classic example for this. In this case a dynamic CDT may not be needed.
