As a way of selecting columns for fields, it may be fine (although will  
it allow multiple selections where appropriate?) but what about  
display?  It is important to be able to see all the selections at  
once.  However, displaying them as text (or label, since it would be  
read only) or series of text items may well be more compact than having  
entry fields and dropdowns for each.
