Hi datahub team, new to datahub here and want to store a dataset name that is distinct from urn — i.e. in my use case the URN is a path on s3, but goal is to have dataset name in datahub be a nice human-readable name. What I tried so far (in Python):

aspects = [
        DatasetPropertiesClass(
            name=nice_human_readable_name,
            customProperties=properties,
            description=description,
            externalUrl=url
        ),
    ]

or alternatively:

aspects = [
        DatasetPropertiesClass(
            qualifiedName=nice_human_readable_name,
            customProperties=properties,
            description=description,
            externalUrl=url
        ),
    ]

The mcps that are generated have proper format:

connection.submit_change_proposals

but then this rather crytpic error message (see attached screenshot). Any advise appreciated! Thanks!

This seems like a server-client version mismatch - what versions of the cli and datahub server are you using?

Thanks so much for the tips, I’ll check in a bit and respond here

I've made a thread about that in another channel but never got any response: https://datahubspace.slack.com/archives/CV2UVAPPG/p1659528050363019
