Hi @John_devs

With a selected table try this

//This script copies first column after the last column in a selected table

//Select table
var selection = app.selection[0];
//First column of selected table
var firstColumn = selection.columns[0];
//increase table with one column
selection.columnCount = selection.columns.length + 1;

firstColumn.select();
app.copy();
selection.columns[-1].select();
app.paste();
