Character '.' (dot) in dataset names is not displayed properly (creating containers)

ArchanaDiwakar opened this issue · comments

I am trying to ingest some data into the datahub. I have created a dataset which contains '.' character in its name.
The datahub UI considers '.' as a delimiter and breaks it into a container and a dataset whenever it sees '.' character.

In the image below, you can see in the browse path depicts a container
ADMISSION_TYPE
and then a dataset
CODE
but I want it to create a dataset with the name
ADMISSION_TYPE.CODE
Not by splitting it into a container and then a dataset.

I can see the similar issue mentioned in the below link but with special character '/'.

Please advise why is this behaving like this or suggest some ways to overcome this.

Can someone here help me with the above issue ?

WONTFIX. Unfortunately we aren't able to allow delimiters in the name.
