Custom assets should not have out of the box relationships to artifacts (i.e. Business Term and Classification)

We have created custom assets, and now for each there's a section 'Governance' which has fields for terms and classifications both.

Neither are used, but they show as 'No term assigned yet' or whatever (our dev is down now, can't check the exact wording).  This creates the misleading impression that terms *should* be found under these assets, which is not the case.

If those out of the box relationships need to exist, then at the very least you should follow the same design principles as in the governance side, where you hide those properties which are empty. That saves screen space and avoids confusions.

    Hi Jukka, thank you for submitting the Aha Idea. The ability to hide empty fields for catalog assets are currently in our backlog. I will assess with the team to see if we can add that to our roadmap in the next 12 months.

    Regards,
