Customize the UI screen to show the category hierarchy for business terms

How should it work?
When we access the business terms UI, we currently see the direct parent (sub-category) for each business term. We would like to add a section that displays the super parent (top-level category) as well. Although we can view the hierarchy by hovering over the direct parent of the term, we want it to be visible directly on the screen/UI. This would enhance usability, especially when applying filters.

Why is it useful?
It helps users identify both the super parent category and the direct parent category of a business term.

Who would benefit from it?
Our Business team is exploring the tool and would benefit from seeing the super parent category in the user interface (UI). This would make it easier for them to understand and navigate.

Attached contains the screenshot of how we see the hierarchy for a term in UI now.

Thank You,
Lakshmi

    Hi, could you clarify if the full category path should be visible by default, or only the top-level category?
