TL;DR

Beyond the default mapped [dbt Cloud](/apps/connectors/etl-tools/dbt/references/what-does-atlan-crawl-from-dbt-cloud) or [dbt Core](/apps/connectors/etl-tools/dbt/references/what-does-atlan-crawl-from-dbt-core) properties, you can update any of Atlan's metadata attributes (except for `name`, `tenantId`, and `qualifiedName`) through your dbt model's `meta` property.

For more details on how to do these updates, including various examples, see the dbt tabs in the Common asset actions snippets of the developer documentation:
