One more question, can we change meta-data on UI and somehow it propagates back to backend database e.g BQ
h
Some of it yes, like owners and links to docs, but not everything.
But itโ€™s open source so the sky is the limit ๐Ÿ˜…

Hey @bland-garden-89536. Fredrik is right^. What are you hoping to update from the UI?

Thanks guys
I am hoping to update description on a column level in a table in BQ via UI

Datahub UI only persists to its db. If u want to store it back to actual data store like Big Query, thats not currently available. But its easy to add as DataHub emits a change event and that can be used to write/update back to Big Query.

Hey people, what is the best way to achieve it? I'm using Datahub v0.8.41 and I there is a topic (MetadataChangeLog_Versioned_v1 ) which the changes are pushed, but the record of this topic is the old and new version of a resource, so i would have to make a diff between both versions? I couldn't find another topic where only the changed field is pushed. Thanks in advance.

Hi @fast-oyster-93603 - you can indeed do a manual diff of the previous / new events. The Actions Framework is designed to provide high level events for consumption but the column level description change event is not yet built (feel free to raise a request for it, or better yet build it out!)
