It would be great to include documentation in the dataflow. Along with expanding the Entity Name to view the fields and typing, it would be great to also add a custom text field to share descriptive content business partners. Additionally, this descriptive content (along with the properties field) could be visible in the M-script for copy/paste replication of the Advanced Editor contents.

- adam_sottosantiNew MemberAgreed. We would like to be able to pull the JSON definitions of our data flows and create a catalog for our development staff. Helpful would be if we could have a description for each entity and each data field.
- Aisling_KellyNew MemberPlease enable workspace viewers to see dataflows in workspace content list. This would allow viewers to search dataflows by key words and see properties description box, which often contains helpful context info. Currently viewers can only see the dataflow table list view and individual table properties.
- JPB4New MemberI add info in the dataflow properties box about the underlying query, filters used, refresh schedule, etc., but my users can't see the dataflow properties. It would be valuable to have a right click option for the dataflows in the PBI Desktop dataflow navigator window to display these dataflow properties.
