Hi there, Would it be possible to have in the charts .yml a line specifying when was the last time the asset was opened (as a chart or from a dashboard) This would help a lot when refactoring a semantic object to understand the type of impact the refactor might have.

👋 Thanks for your message - someone from the Lightdash support team will get back to you asap. Feel free to add any additional context to the thread here in the meantime (screenshots, app version if you're self-hosting etc.).

Hey Pierre 👋 That's not included in the chart YAML files today, but the use case makes a lot of sense. I recorded a feature request for it here: https://github.com/lightdash/lightdash/issues/23120 I'll upvote so you'll get updated in this thread when we work on it. Out of curiosity, are you doing this kind of impact analysis as part of a CI workflow, or using a coding agent, or something else? Asking because that might shape how we expose this data.

I've upvoted issue #23120 for you! This issue has been requested by 1 other user. I'll notify everyone here as soon as it's fixed.

Right now, I am only working manually, tidying up our semantic layer (removing, renaming, merging semantic objects). But in the future, that's something I would like to be able to use in an agentic workflow for less complex refactoring than the one I'm doing. The goal being to see what seems safe or risky to refactor based on the usage of semantic object (number of charts where it is used and recency of chart viewing)
