Hi!

We could somehow add this feature, but it might not be exactly what you are after.

The package only checks the columns that are added manually in the YAML files, NOT all the columns of a given model based on its SQL (e.g. not the list of columns you get in catalog.json after a dbt docs generate).

We have a callout in the docs here.

Is there no way to also test column documentation for the given model based in its SQL?

That would be a very useful feature for this package.

No, as mentioned above, it is not possible today.
