We recently released Atlan Playbooks to minimize human intervention and automate data curation and documentation tasks. Data teams can use Playbooks to create automation rules for bulk tagging, owner assignments, column descriptions, classifications, and more, thereby reducing the time and effort spent on manual processes. 

At the same time, the ability to leverage custom metadata is one of the core value propositions of using Atlan. So why not use both Playbooks and custom metadata?

That is exactly what we did in our latest update to Atlan Playbooks. Data teams can now use Playbooks to perform bulk updates on custom metadata fields. For instance, if there is a custom metadata field for the data steward, users can automatically assign “John” as the data steward for all properties at once, eliminating the need for manual updates.
