This behavior has been resolved and deployed to the production environment as of 2/13/25.
Description
Catalog team added a new column named user_defined_fields table named hide_in_user_workflow. This was added to the table and is produced in the files generated but has not been added to the schema for CD2 which breaks the Initdb/Syncdb commands for users as well as any end user custom tools that may rely on the schema.
Expected Behavior
If a new column is added to a table it should not be produced on the files before its added to the schema.
Workaround
No workaround exists at this time.
Steps to Reproduce
-
Download the latest snapshot for the user_defined_fields and see that hide_in_user_workflow is included
-
Download the Schema for the user_defined_fields table and see that the column is not included.
-
Attempt to use the Initdb/Syncdb feature of the cli and see it fails when attempting to import that table.
