Is it possible to add a custom attribute / property in catalog in purview?
Hi,
Is it possible to add a custom attribute/property in the catalogue in purview?
I want to add an attribute like last time data modified or if data is approved or not after I register my source. Is it possible?
Thank you,
Mary

- Yes, Azure Purview is based on Apache ATLAS. AND: it supports and provides an Apache ATLAS REST API interface to insert and modify entries in the data catalog: A good start can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/purview/tutorial-using-rest-apis
wstrasser MarySarafraz , I'm currently trying out a solution architecture exposed by pietheinstrengholt in his excellent article Modern Data Pipelines with Azure Synapse Analytics and Azure Purview (Dec 30, 2021).
In this architecture Azure Purview is use to store additional parameters (Primary Key of the datasets, Operation Type...) via a custom entity type definition (to support Synapse Pipelines and Spark Notebooks because custom attributes for collections aren't supported yet in Purview)
If Purview built-in entity types now support custom attributes I will be glad to get any link to achieve it 🙂
