Hey all,
We've got a bunch of business objects we created as delta live tables. these are important as that's what business users will use in dashboards, genie rooms etc. We're trying to enrich the metadata for those but the option is greyed out and I can't find the right documentation for it.
I tried to do it via SQL adding comment at the end of the column and that's not supported. What's the best way to achieve this?
We got the ability to add comments and AI assist on regular tables, just not mat views. thank you!

Hi @AnaMocanu,
As of now, although you can add comments and use AI assistance for regular tables, the same functionality is not supported for materialized views directly via SQL or the Databricks UI. Let me check if there is a way of doing this and get back.
