Customize Business Glossary Term View

You have 2 options here: layout changes and fetch rules.

Layout change

Take your example and add more information into columns:

{
  "_type": "entity.page.listing",
  "children": {
    "_type": "relationships.hierarchyListing",
    "enableSelection": true,
    "columns": {
      "type": {
        "dataPath": [],
        "name": "Type",
        "after": "name",
        "renderer": {
          "_type": "glossary.termType.tableCell"
        }
      },
      "attributeNameToHide": {
        "enabled": false
      },
      "anotherAttributeNameToHide": {
        "enabled": false
      }
    }
  }
}

with “enabled”: false for each column/attribute you would like to hide.

Here for example, I have hidden the abbreviation:

Fetch rules

With fetch rules you should be able to “remove” some or all attributes from being loaded into a page.

For some reason it doesn’t work for me with the recent versions I have access to, but it for the completeness, let me describe how it worked :).

You have to switch to Fetch rules tab and provide rules in the following format:

[
  { "pattern": "./*", "enabled": false },
  { "pattern": "./name", "enabled": true },
  { "pattern": "./someAttribute", "enabled": true },
  { "pattern": "./someAttribute2", "enabled": true },
]

Which with the first pattern disables all the attributes to be loaded, and then with the next patterns enables only some of the existing attributes (name, someAttribute, someAttribute2).

Also note, that badly written fetch rule could make your screen blank without an easy way to restore previous state. At the time of 13.3 the only way to fix this was the direct database update.

In short, try first method.
