Ability to generate / export column configuration

New functionality

Proposed functionality

With the welcomed addition of the ability to specify default table columns under DEFAULT_USER_PREFERENCES it would be useful on the Configure Table dialogue box to be able to generate a snippet based on the current table configuration that could be used in the default preference setting.

The barrier to entry currently feels quite high as I need to know the table name and the exact internal naming of the columns in order to generate default preferences.

Use case

Improves the ease of use for default table columns on DEFAULT_USER_PREFERENCES

I struggled with this a bit during the initial implementation. What do you think is the best way to expose this? We could include a compatible representation of the user's current table configurations under their preferences; would that work?

That would be a neat way to do it.

I've added a "table configuration" section to the user's preferences form to show all customized tables. This also allows a user to reset multiple table preferences.
