Allow changing system column display settings on schema or catalog #939

Closed RFSH closed 1 year ago

RFSH commented 2 years ago

While system columns are widely used in almost all the tables, data modelers would have to add an annotation to each column defined on each table to change their display settings. This can lead to a huge and redundant annotation config file. For example, in RBK, we're changing RCT to Creation Time and RMT to Last Modified Time in all the tables.

We could facilitate this by allowing data modelers to modify the display settings on system columns on catalog or schema. Should we allow all display settings in there? Or just name? Requires more discussion and thought

Closing this issue as #971 will allow us to do the described behavior.
