If a table is missing a field but the database or instance has it, should that value cascade down to the table?\r\n\r\nIt feels like `license` should definitely cascade: if an instance lists a certain `license` that should absolutely filter through to all databases and tables.\r\n\r\nBut... should the other fields cascade? Cascading `description` doesn't feel right at all, and neither does `title`.\r\n\r\nWhat about `about` and `about_url` and `source` and `source_url`? I'm a bit torn on whether they should cascade or not. I'm leaning towards cascading them.", "reactions": "{\"total_count\": 0, \"+1\": 0, \"-1\": 0, \"laugh\": 0, \"hooray\": 0, \"confused\": 0, \"heart\": 0, \"rocket\": 0, \"eyes\": 0}", "issue": {"value": 642651572, "label": "Plugin hook for instance/database/table metadata"}, "performed_via_github_app": null}
