View column comments

As a way to minimize storage costs, my team and I want to create views instead of tables in the Gold layer.
We always try to improve the experience of our users by adding comments to the columns. the problem is that views do not inherit comments from their source columns and it is not allowed to add comments to them.

Hi @isabelgontijo ,had you found any workaround this?You can use create view statement as mentioned below

In addition to this,i am  not able to add comment on column which is encrypted and in views we are decrypting that column. I am using create view statement to add comment,

create or replace view catalog_name.schema.table_name (column1 comment 'adfsds',column2 comment 'sdcbhbsjdcjs') comment 'bjsjcds' as select aesdecrypt_function(column1),aesdecrypt_function(column2) from table.
