Filter assets in a connection using REGEX

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

In many actions within the Knowledge Catalog, we must select which assets inside a connection we will use. One example is selecting the assets that will be part of a metadata import.

In our experience, we have encountered many cases where we needed to select only tables or schemas whose names comply with a specific naming rule. For example, every schema with a name ending in "_gold", "_silver", or "_bronze."

These cases would be easy to solve if the tool had a feature allowing us to select every schema that complies with a specific regex.

This feature would also simplify the automatic updating of the cataloging of new assets based on their names. For example, if three new schemas with names ending in "_gold" are created, and we already have a metadata import that selects all schemas ending with "_gold," then in the next metadata import job execution, the new schemas would also be included in the metadata import.

Such a feature would facilitate the governance team's ability to update the tool's cataloging, increasing both its potential and usefulness.
