DataHub

Hi, Can i add a new description of field in UI ? Is there any change of the fundamental functions in the latest version of DataHub ? Why don't we just do this function in the same way as editing description of dataset on UI that updated in the latest version. We don't need to write down anything to actual beneath database

Yes you can! We have added a lot of functionality in the last quarter! We will go through them in the townhall next week!

Do you mean this function will be updated soon ?

try hovering over column description! you should see the edit icon on the right

That's right. But if a field doesn't have a description yet, the edit icon will not appear at all

Oh wow. That should be fixed asap. cc <@U01JUBAPZPS>

to follow up: this is fixed in the latest release.
