Is there a way to systematic way to find out what is using a column in a CDT? We are auditing our tables and we are not sure if some of the columns are being used.

@alexanderc I don't think that there is an OOTB utility to do so.
I would like to suggest one manual approach as follows which could be elegant when compared to manual process.
1. Obtain the DDL from the datastore in Appian. I guess this could be obtained when you try to publish the data store to a new datasource.
2. Extract the DDL script from the database schema.
3. Compare the sql scripts from both sources, that is, data store and database manually by making use of a text comparison utilities.
Let's see if any other user could suggest much efficient approach when compared to making manual comparisons in each CDT against its associated table.
