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 https://piethein.medium.com/modern-data-pipelines-with-azure-synapse-analytics-and-azure-purview-fe752d874c67 (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 🙂
