Implementing user functions in a DataFlow diagram (Azure Data Factory)

Question

Hi,

is it possible to implement your own user functions in the expression builder of a DataFlow workflow? We have some python-based functions that we would like to use to define the values of new derived columns.

Thanks in advance
Best regards
Alvaro

Hi @ahuarte ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum and thanks for your query.

As of today it is not possible to implement custom user functions in Mapping Data flow. But sounds like a great idea and as per my discussion with internal team the product team is reviewing this feedback.

I would also request you to please share your feedback in ADF user voice forum: https://feedback.azure.com/forums/270578-azure-data-factory
All the feedback shared in this forum are actively monitored and reviewed by ADF engineering team.

Please do share the feedback link here once it is posted so that other users with similar idea can upvote and/or comment on your suggestion. Which would also help to increase the priority of feature implementation. Once we have the feedback link, we can take it forward to ADF PG to further review the feedback.

Hope this info helps.
