Question
Hi all, I am attempting to upgrade one of the destination connectors into V2, however after doing some development I don’t see the transformation tab enabled as it says “Normalization and Transformation operations are not supported for this connection.” is this expected also for V2 connectors?

Yes, Destinations V2 replaces the legacy Normalization (internal dbt run) option with <https://docs.airbyte.com/using-airbyte/core-concepts/typing-deduping|Typing & Deduping>. This means that a single typing error will no longer fail the whole run, and there’s always one output table per stream.
It does mean you’ll need to change any downstream transformations, as the columns will now often come in as native JSON types that you need to handle a little differently than the old ones (although this depends on the destination system)
But for the V2 connections is the “Transformation” tab configurable/enabled or should I expect as well to see the message “Normalization and Transformation operations are not supported for this connection”?
