Not sure what you mean. Some plugins that need custom columns have a button to create them. The Annotations plugin does this. But, I think, most rely on you to create them using the "Add your own columns" page of the calibre preferences. Then have a way to select the column in the configuration for the plugin. You should look at the first post of the plugin to see what is needed. The Count Pages plugin has instructions for creating the columns in the first post.
