When importing data from a CSV file using update the original asset allow to only modify the columns present in the file and preserve as they were

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

In a catalog, when assigning terms to columns "data asset" through the import of a CSV file, then current behaviour forces you that all columns if a table exist in the file being imported.

For example if a table contains 9 column and I want to assign termes to only 2 of those columns, I must add all columns in the file. If I don't modify the file only the columns listed are preserved, the other columns are deleted and the we end up with an incomplete table. See file attached.

What we need to be changes if that when we are importing metadata in a catalog using a csv file and selecting  « Update the original asset » if it currently exists we would like for it to only modify the columns present in the file and lease other columns as is.
