AI-Generated Documentation: Automatic Descriptions for Nodes, Columns, and Git Commit Messages

These features are currently in Private Preview. Please reach out to your Coalesce account manager to sign up.

Coalesce is introducing AI-generated descriptions for Node, Columns, and Git Commit messages.

By analyzing your data pipelines lineage and transformation metadata, it creates natural language descriptions. AI-generated descriptions streamlines documentation by creating clear explanations of data transformations and Git commits. Now you can focus on development while making sure your data pipelines are well documented. 

Organization admins can opt-in by going to Organization Settings > Preferences and toggling AI Features.

Updates

• Run results/ Column Headers now support numeric names, ensuring your data displays accurately.

• We've temporarily rolled back Workspace Onboarding based on valuable customer feedback. This change was made to ensure the best customer experience possible. We're working on improvements to deliver a refined version in the future. Sign up for our changelog email to keep to date.

Bug Fixes

• We fixed an issue where, when switching tabs in multi-source Nodes the incorrect join string was saved.

Coalesce cleaning up deprecated metadata fields in Nodes. The change will improve data integrity across Coalesce. This will happen in two stages:

• Release 7.14

• Release 7.15

When doing a commit, you might see changes for Nodes that you haven’t modified. This is expected while deprecated metadata is removed. We suggest making a commit with the changes then continuing on with your workflow. Do not delete, edit, or modify the deprecated fields in any way.

Changes in Release 7.14

Deprecated fields in 7.14  will primarily affect older workspaces that haven't been accessed recently. For actively maintained workspaces, the impact should be minimal. However, if you attempt to commit against previously archived or long-dormant workspaces, you may encounter these changes.

Deprecated Properties Removed

The following properties will be completely removed if present:

Top-level column properties:

• ghostRecordValue

• descendedFrom

• hashColumns

• columnsForHash

Inside hashDetails object:

• hashType

• hubHashes

Properties corrected for Invalid Data

Properties set to empty string (""):

• dataType - if not a string type

• transform - if empty

Properties completely removed if invalid

• appliedColumnTests - if null

• config - if null

• hashDetails - if it's a string (should be an object)

Column Reference Fixes

Column Reference (columnReference)

• stepCounter - if null/undefined, set to the node's ID

• All IDs within column references are converted to strings (previously numbers were allowed - this change has been around for a long time)

Source Column References (sourceColumnReferences)

For each reference in the array:

• All IDs within column references are converted to strings

• stepCounter - if null/undefined, set to empty string ("")

Hashed Columns Fixes

For hashedColumns array:

• All IDs within column references are converted to strings

Upcoming Changes in Release 7.15

Deprecated fields in 7.15 will affect all Source Node Types regardless of age or activity status.

Deprecated Properties Removed:

• dataset

• table

• metadata.join

• metadata.sourceMapping - already absent from most sources
