Is it possible to populate managed attributes (businessMetadataDefs) using pyPapacheAtlas?

Question

I'm trying to bulk import entities but I'm not succeeding at mapping managed attributes on the excel sheet properly. I'm wondering if this is possible using pyApacheAtlas or it's only doable using the REST API.

@Herrera Chicas, Astrid AA [NC] - Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

Yes, this is known limitation with Managed attributes in Microsoft Purview.

In order to create these Managed Attributes, the Purview UI does a very good job and is probably the easiest and recommended approach. At the same time, Purview also offers the flexibility to create them using APIs. Here is an example: Use new APIs available with Atlas 2.2. - Microsoft Purview | Microsoft Learn

For more details, refer to Create custom attributes that uses multiple choices in Microsoft Purview and Managed attributes in the Microsoft Purview Data Catalog.
