Sorry, I know that we've talked about this quite a lot and I mentioned that I would like to be able to see the list of columns, but from a usability perspective, it would be easiest to be able to see a list of the columns in the CSV file when attempting to add new dimensions. As it is at the moment, I have to have the dataset preview open in CKAN to remember what I need to include.

Having this list in the original position (bottom left, where Existing Dimensions now is) may not cut it for datasets for which there are many columns (it would go below the crease). Is it possible to have a ('See unused columns' feature in the Add a New Dimension box itself?)
