The alation_conf parameter alation.feature_flags.dev_enable_data_dictionary_redesign must be set to true to use this API. On using alation_conf see Using alation_conf.

You can include columns in the data dictionary upload file, as long as you also include one of the higher-level objects (data source, schema, or table).
