resolves #572


Description

Add an optional new container to the table-details template with a clickable link.

Then hydrate it based on the keys and values found under the source external key for dbt-labs/dbt_external_tables.

This was tested for 2 types of external tables with BigQuery:

  • Google Cloud Storage
  • Google Sheets

It should work in every database and external table types.

Here is an example of the output:

Hi @dbt-labs/core-team,
Do you have estimated delays for PR reviews?

@emmyoop I see you you reviewed a recent PR and I am not sure the CODEOWNERS mention works properly.
