Hello - our tech stack is snowflake / dbt / looker and are currently using datahub to track lineage / etc across. Its working great! Our source of truth for column descriptions is our dbt yml files - since these may be more difficult to edit for non-technical members. Does anyone have a good method for taking edits made in Datahub UI (for things such as column description / etc) and adding them to dbt yml file? Or any other best practice?

Hi @handsome-airplane-62628 great to hear that you’re enjoying DataHub so far. There aren’t any good methods for adding the edits back to dbt yet, but since DataHub gives you a change event on documentation change, you could use that to open a pull request against your GitHub repo by writing a custom action. I’m not sure how complex that would be, but it would allow you to complete the loop.

Thanks Shirshanka! Can you let me know where I can access the change event?

Start by reading up on the actions framework. https://datahubproject.io/docs/act-on-metadata is where I would start.
