NOCOLUMNS:custom,stuff

According to the docs, and confirmed by testing,
NOCOLUMNS:column[,column]
    Used to drop certain of the status columns generated by the Hobbit
client. column is one of cpu, disk, files, memory, msgs, ports, procs. 
    This setting stops these columns from being updated for the host. 
    Note: If the columns already exist, you must use the bb(1) utility
to drop them, or they will go purple.

This is the bit that's got me stuck.
column is one of cpu, disk, files, memory, msgs, ports, procs. 

Is there a way to nocolumn a custom test?

We have a server, appearing twice in bb-hosts, because it performs 2
different functions.
It has 2 custom tests on it, one monitoring app1 and other monitoring
app2.
There are different custodians for the 2 apps, so I want them to appear
in their own groups.

We have it listed in bb-hosts as 
.
.
group App1 Servers
1.2.3.4	foo	# NOCOLUMS:app2
.
.
.
group App2 Servers
0.0.0.0	foo	# NOCOLUMS:app1

How do I make this work?

Thanks
    Vernon
