Pre-populate data table column descriptions from data catalog

Spotfire 12.4 introduced a new feature allowing authors to apply descriptions to data table columns manually in the data analysis flyout. While this is great, and can be a tool for documenting projects, the fact that you have to do this in each individual visualization file is very tedious for commonly used data sets.

It would be great if this meta data could be pre-populated based on meta data available in TDV or via data catalog (EBX or similar). This interoperability would help users who are not only navigating a built visualization, but also BUILDING a visualization by leveraging existing, already captured data definitions.
