It's not possible to override the default configuration of CustomNotificationFilterPreferences for, for example, prevents one column to be sortable or filterable. In my case I'm trying to edit the call of the livedata here: https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/xwiki-platform-16.10.10/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-notifications/xwiki-platform-notifications-ui/src/main/resources/XWiki/Notifications/Code/NotificationsCustomFiltersPreferencesMacro.xml#L812-L819 for adding this specific configuration:
{ 'meta': { 'propertyDescriptors': [ { 'id': 'eventTypes', 'sortable': false, 'filterable': false } ] } }
