It is possible to add comments/descriptions to databricks database **columns**, and in powerbi a column can have a column description which can pop up when hovering over the column name. When importing a table from databricks using the powerbi databricks connector, it would be nice if it imported the column got the description from the corresponding column in databricks!

guess this will also improve copilot quality if column comments are available. Being gold partner that should be doable, or?

You can use C# scripts in TE to achieve this. https://capstoneanalytics.com.au/importing-comments-from-databricks-unity-catalog-to-power-bi/- Status added:New
This feature would be valuable for us and would improve the enterprise suitable and governance posture of Fabric.
Thanks for taking the time to post this idea Erik! To me this is a no brainer that this should in fact be standard functionality!
This should be a standard feature, Microsoft. Why spend all the effort documenting column descriptions upstream in Databricks if Power BI can't consume those descriptions? Instead, to have a fully documented data model, we have to recreate the same descriptions in the PBIX that we've already created upstream in the DWH!
