Thanks for your suggestion.

The core concern of this thread remains the same, does not matter if we use VIEW or MASKING functions. That is to which extend Databricks SQL support complex type manipulation? Can we make a function/a VIEW definition that utilizes/alters a sub-field of a complex-typed column for whatever purpose we want?

Does it even support it at all? If it is not supported, is there any plan to support it in future? Or what would be the alternatives?
