Hi Domo Team and Community,
I'm currently using the Quickbase connector (specifically with the API_DoQuery action), and each dataset includes several system-level metadata fields that are not part of my actual Quickbase table. These fields include:
action
errcode
errtext
dbinfo_name
_BATCH_ID
BATCH_LAST_RUN
While I understand these are part of the XML API response structure, they create extra cleanup steps downstream — especially when the actual use case focuses only on the Quickbase table fields defined in the clist parameter.
Feature Request:
Please consider adding an option to suppress or exclude these metadata fields during dataset imports. Not just for the Quickbase connector but for all API connectors. This could be implemented as a checkbox like “Exclude XML metadata fields” in the connector UI, allowing users to retrieve only the actual table data.
This would improve usability and reduce the need for redundant data cleanup in ETL processes.
