Field/Column description #61

Open simonaubertbd opened 3 months ago

Hello,

A nice and common thing is having a field (or column) description (sometimes called comment). It exists for database and several file formats. It's also pretty common in ETL/Dataprep tools such as Alteryx, Dataïku, Orange Data Mining...

Notable features : -visible on the pipeline -can come from the source (with a retrieve field description button on the input tool) -can optionnally be written to the output

Best regards,

Simon

Thanks Simon, it's interesting, haven't thought about adding metadata on fields in addition to name and type but that makes sense. Thanks for the suggestion
