Databricks connector should import column descriptions

[Erik_Parmann]

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!

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!

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 feature would be valuable for us and would improve the enterprise suitable and governance posture of Fabric.

You can use C# scripts in TE to achieve this. https://capstoneanalytics.com.au/importing-comments-from-databricks-unity-catalog-to-power-bi/
