Hi, I am trying to evaluate the efforts to add a new entity of data model, which need to be searchable. The new entity is similar with domain or owner, but for different purpose. It need to be linkable with datasets. I find the doc https://datahubproject.io/docs/advanced/no-code-modeling My question is 1. Is the no code metadata released? If yes, by which version. If no, is there concrete timeline to release? 2. Is there concrete todo list to add a new entity of data model currently?

Hi @clean-tomato-22549, thanks for your patience- a lot of the team has been out on holiday and is now returning for the new year!
there’s also a small tutorial at the end of the doc you linked describing how to define a new entity with no-code modeling!

Currently the easiest way to extend is to add aspects to existing entity types
Adding new entity types is also possible via extending the Entity Registry (providing a custom entity-registry.yml), but it will be only useful as a data storage layer (read and write to DataHub backend APIs)
Since the UI does not dynamically adjust to new entities that are added

Thanks all for you response. @astonishing-answer-96712 @big-carpet-38439 Actually, I am trying to add Data Product type, which concept is similar as Data Mesh. It is larger than the concept of Domain in our company. Any suggestions to this kind of requirements? Or do we have plan to support Data Product data model?

Hi @astonishing-answer-96712, thx for the reply. Based on containers, might be a possible way. While I found this feature request https://feature-requests.datahubproject.io/p/domain-hierarchy-management suit me better. It is in-review status, and has many voters. Do you know does it have any progress to plan it?
