Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
not a problem per se, but a suboptimal solution to a previous problem regarding daily issue history fields. we decided to use field_ids to avoid special characters in column names in this PR #25
having columns called customfield_[id_number]
isn't very user friendly, and i imagine users are renaming these columns as their actual field_names on top of the package models
Describe the solution you'd like
it would be great to have the columns named as their respective field.name
instead of their ID. we can use dbt_utils.slugify() for this i think https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-utils/blob/main/macros/jinja_helpers/slugify.sql
Describe alternatives you've considered
- using IDs instead of potentially problematic field names
Additional context
Please indicate the level of urgency and business impact of this request
Are you interested in contributing to this package?
- Yes, I can do this and open a PR for your review.
- Possibly, but I'm not quite sure how to do this. I'd be happy to do a live coding session with someone to get this work implemented.
- No, I'd prefer if someone else did this. I don't have the time and/or don't know how to incorporate the changes necessary.
