Downloaded Tables

All custom_attributes and metadata properties are stored as a serialized JSON string. Due to the customized structure of this object we are unable to prepare a fixed structure. To parse the serialized JSON, use, for example, a Snowflake transformation that can easily parse JSON objects.
