Curious if GoodData supports data types such as
super
for the logical data model. For context, we have per tenant custom fields in super type field in our data and wasn't sure if GoodData has a good way to unnest and use a particular attribute within that field or not? If not, then what is the recommendation (view per tenant)?

Hi Christopher, currently, this is not supported by GoodData as it needs to work with well-defined columns and data types, i.e, each fact or attribute must map to a column with a consistent type. Have you considered transforming and unnesting the
SUPER
field via an SQL dataset: https://www.gooddata.com/docs/cloud/model-data/create-logical-data-model/create-sql-datasets/? Although, I am not entirely sure this would work as I have no experience workin with this data type. If this does not help, then I would recommend addressing the transformation directly in your data source.
