馃搧 Catalog Improvement Meta Issue #14574
Comments
Excellent list @Rugvip . Based on our experience rolling out Backstage with a few dozen customers, the items I'd highlight from your list are (in order)...

I would love to see a more simple way to customize the entity pages/cards. I know isn't only the catalog, the core components should be get some benefits from this ideia, but I can imagine the big necessity comes from the catalog Things like: add a new information from metadata, change some information from About. Add more information in tables and things like that. It's possible now, but is very difficult to achieve (from my "not React developer" point of view) |
I'll also note that one of the issues I've seen is a lack of consistency in rendering Entity reference names in the UI. On some pages like the top bar and in the graph, it gets rendered using However in other cases, it gets rendered as just the It seems like this really needs to be made consistent and should prefer |
@bforbis, yeah, that for sure would be nice. As this is intended to be a meta-issue for all the related Catalog issues could you log an issue for this and then share the issue number here, please? |
Also, I would like to see an extendable stitcher as there are some cases where the same information comes from two different sources, for example, users might be ingested from multiple systems. Merging the entities should be possible so that metadata from system 1 can be combined with metadata from system 2. This though might be somewhat hard to do due to the async behavior of the providers. But especially the human-readable naming all over should be fixed by utilizing the metadata.title instead name. |
Is there an issue for this one yet? I'd like to see what has already been discussed. |
@bforbis Not really for exactly that, I don't think. There's been a number of reports of troubles with conflict resolution etc during moves, but no issue that comes immediately to mind that talks about specific remediations. |
Hey everyone,
I'm asking because I would like to implement removing of orphaned entities. Thanks! 馃槂 |
@knowacki23 might also be related to the upcoming debug tool that could potentially allow removing orphan entities from UI #9737 |
From what I understand (please correct me if I'm wrong) this debug tool will add new view tab containing all the orphaned entities, I was hoping for a scheduled task like indexBuilder for the search engine, that will automatically remove non-existing entities from the catalog without any user interaction. |
@Remyapraveen thank you for reporting! We'll need to add a redirect to |
Hi @Rugvip, sure, thank you. Shall submit a PR, but should I just go and create a new Pull Request? Could you please guide me on what to do? |
Turned out to be a pretty widespread issue. I ended up shipping it in #16708 through #14574 (comment) |
I see. Thanks for letting me know @Rugvip |

There are a lot of ideas around different ways that we can improve the Software Catalog. I've created this issue as a place to track all of these ideas as to make it easier to get an overview of what's already being discussed. It is also a place where we can synchronize the work between members of the community that want to help drive the catalog forward.
Please suggest things to add if you think that something is missing! 馃檹
