Automation with a changing schema

[Graham_E]

I can't find an explicit description of this use case in the docs, so I am asking here. If there is something in the docs I missed, please let me know.

I am using a custom plugin to read data from an external service (via a REST api). This is working great. I am also using a scenario to build the project on request. The caveat is that in the future the schema of the data will change. We have columns of the form "entry_1", "entry_2" ... "entry_n" etc. and the max value of n will most likely change in the future. Ideally, the automation setup we would use would allow the data sets schema change to be propagated when the project is re-built. Is this possible? I would like the flow of data to be as hands off as possible.

Thanks

Hi,

It is not currently possible to automate schema propagation changes along the Flow.

Thanks for the quick reply Clément .

Is there a work around we could use in the meantime? Like is it possible to pre-define a schema in conjunction with the custom plugin? If so we could pad the schema so that the value "n" for "entry_n" is arbitrarily large.
