Add Data Source Description #135

Closed ugamarkj closed 1 month ago

ugamarkj commented 7 years ago

Need the ability to add a description to a data source when publishing. Currently it overwrites the existing description with nothing.

Hey Mark!

I just checked, the REST API backend doesn't support this -- we should add it!

/cc @benlower @RussTheAerialist

ugamarkj commented 7 years ago

Thanks Tyler. I’ll have to be more conservative with my auto-metadata Python script so I don’t lose my descriptions frequently. =)

It's also definitely a bug if we're overwriting existing descriptions!

graysonarts commented 7 years ago

the REST api doesn't support it, but I dug through the server code a bit today and it looks like it should be easy to pipe through. I'll ask @benlower to put it on our backlog for the server work.

benlower commented 7 years ago

thanks for raising this

test

ugamarkj commented 5 years ago

Curious to know if this is still on anyone's radar. I just checked and it is still a problem in 2019.2.

ddrummond commented 4 years ago

This is still a missing feature on 2019.3.3. Our client (a major fortune 500 company) would love to see this feature materialize.

btorgesen commented 4 years ago

Could someone please give an update on this feature. I'm the Tableau architect for a major bank and am working on an automated process to deploy enterprise data sources and workbooks to the all of the sites on our enterprise Tableau server. We need to be able to create projects (with descriptions) automatically for new sites.

ImangulovA commented 4 years ago

begging for it as well!

JoeyKwok commented 4 years ago

Still unavailable?

ugamarkj commented 4 years ago

With every release I'm like "maybe...maybe...dangit". I'm sure there are cross team dynamics at play.

TimothyVermeirenBiztory commented 3 years ago

Also still hoping for this capability to be available soon!

michelekorell commented 3 years ago

Hello, we have the same issue, but this topic is already 4 years old. There is another place where Tableau server-side improvement are discussed?

Edit: The only workaround i see is to publish a new datasource with same name how is explained into the api doc. In this case i have no idea about the side effects on all dependencies.

Thx.

chris-day commented 2 years ago

Any updates on where this is?

jacalata commented 1 month ago

This was fixed in 2023, I have now added code demonstrating it to the explore_datasource sample.
