Coupling of Full Name and Display Name
Hello Data Citizens,
we currently run into the problem that for some asset types (e.g. data entity) the full name and the display name are coupled. That means if we change either via UI the other one will get the same value. This does however not happen for every asset type, for example for data attributes the display and full name are independent.
We can also still give data entities different full and display name if we change them via the API. Though that is not feasible for our normal users.
Is there a way to change this behaviour so that for all asset types the full name and display name is independent?
Cheers,
Stefan

·2 years ago · EditedFull Name is an internal attribute/PK (along with Asset Id).
Not sure why you would want to change it. Interested to hear the why.
BTW & bear in mind with ingested assets, like physical data dictionary or Tableau as an example the Full Name includes the breadcrumbs, whereas the Name is just the name.
eg exempli gratia

OP2 years ago · Edited@grantrollerson1 The Problem is that I do not want to change it. But that the Full Name is changed automatically when the display name is changed.

OP2 years ago · EditedFor anyone interested i found the solution. You can change this behaviout via the API. If you call the PATCH endpoint from the REST Api of the asset types you can specify "displayNameEnabled" with either "true" or "false" as value.
If you enable the display name then full and display name are not coupled and if you disable them they are coupled.
