Data Element lineage Q

Q1 - Umm, how do you do lineage from a Data Attribute to a Data Attribute? Can we use Data Element targets / sources Data Element or is that for exclusive use by Techlin? I can't see any other OOTB r/ship so assume otherwise a site-specific one will need to be created huh. Q2 - related. How do you do lineage Column to Column when it's manual? If you use DE t/s DE it will be over-written by Techlin unless I assume you load via Edge/custom-lineage.

Diagram Configuration displays initial asset multiple times
Oftentimes when I load the diagram for an asset the view will split out into multiple flows showing the starting asset twice (or more). The pin icon identifies them as the same asset but it is confusing for users to see the same element twice. Is there a best practice regarding configuring views to avoid this?

Lineage Harvesting Database A and Mapping to Cataloged Assets in Database B???
Hello! We have a situation I could use some guidance with... We have an MS SQL Server (Server A) with a highly restricted database (Database A) on it. Due to its production nature no users are allowed to run queries against it. We do however replicate the entire Database A to ServerB.DatabaseA as a read-only copy. This ServerB.DatabaseA is cataloged in Collibra and this system is what all users log into for BI and Reporting and Data Science access. When I pull MS SSIS ETL Packages on ServerA.DatabaseA (which is where all the fun stuff happens) then there is no direct lineage mapping to ServerB.DatabaseA for stitching to take place. My Question is: Is there a way in Lineage Harvester to "map" ServerA.DatabaseA to ServerB.DatabaseA so that the stitching works and my Collibra Users see lineage form the system that they use daily?

Add tech lineage schedules to multiple databases?
Is there a way to add a synchronisation schedule to multiple databases at once? I know how to add schedules for metadata synchronisation in multiple schemas in the same DB, but I have 200+ DBs that I have to configure one at a time for technical lineage. Thanks
