11/18/2021, 7:21 AMHi @early-lamp-41924, I was thinking on how to get all EditableSchemaMetadata for any fields. Also I want to do this to every editable aspect types

11/18/2021, 7:25 AMThis doesn’t seem like a search type of query. So basically we want all the latest EditableSchemaMetadata aspect of all entities.

11/18/2021, 7:27 AMVery interesting. For the latter, I would suggest creating a consumer of the MetadataAuditEvent kafka topic

11/18/2021, 7:28 AMevery time a new change comes in for the EditableSchemaMetadata aspect, you can query for the non-editable aspect and compare / alert if needed

11/18/2021, 7:28 AMIn that case, you don’t have to loop through all editable aspects every time
