Request to Add Catalog’s Properties

Currently, when creating a catalog, only ‘Name’ and ‘Description’ are available as properties to fill in. However, this information is insufficient in our case. We require additional properties such as ‘Applicable Legislation’, ‘Database Supplying Unit’, ‘Data Availability Year’, and others to adequately describe a catalog.
To address this limitation, we request the feature to incorporate and customize more fields (properties) for catalog descriptions. This feature is already available for artifacts; assets, business terms... where properties can be customized to specific needs. As a temporary solution, we have created a custom asset to include the needed fields, with the fields that we need, but it would be more efficient and user-friendly if these properties could be added as needed and were part of the catalog’s properties.
