We ran into this for JobSet and it would be great to have something like this!

Quick update on the status of this KEP: We have implemented a new CEL based expression field for CRD additionalPrinterColumns. With this we are now able to define and print additionalPrinterColumns with CEL expressions. We have tested printing different types of columns (strings, integers, durations, timestamps, lists and maps).

Here's a small example CRD demonstrating CEL expressions which evaluate to lists and uses conditionals to compute column values based on other fields defined in the CRD schema:
