    Michael and team - with the release of Single Source of Truth in 5.2, we believe that meets the requirement so I will mark this as delivered. If you believe that is incorrect and you are not seeing the desired behavior, please reach out.

    This ties in with the idea of the single source of truth for an asset that is being discussed for 5.1.3. If there are duplicate assets in catalogs for the same table in the same connection, we would want the attributes to persist across all assets for that same table so that we do not have different metadata for the same table.
