Currently only single entity column is supported.\n\n## Current Limitation\n```bash\nfeast dbt import -m manifest.json -e driver_id  # only one entity\n```\n\n## Proposed Enhancement\nSupport multiple entity columns:\n```bash\n# Option 1: Multiple -e flags\nfeast dbt import -m manifest.json -e user_id -e merchant_id\n\n# Option 2: Comma-separated\nfeast dbt import -m manifest.json -e user_id,merchant_id\n```\n\n## Implementation Notes\n- Update CLI to accept multiple entity columns\n- Create separate Entity objects for each\n- Pass list of entities to `create_feature_view`\n- Update code generation to handle multiple entities\n- Update documentation with examples\n\n## Files to Update\n- `sdk/python/feast/cli/dbt_import.py`\n- `sdk/python/feast/dbt/mapper.py`\n- `sdk/python/feast/dbt/codegen.py`\n- Documentation\n\n## Related\n- PR #5827\n- Issue #3335","author":{"url":"https://github.com/YassinNouh21","@type":"Person","name":"YassinNouh21"},"datePublished":"2026-01-16T20:12:09.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/5872/feast/issues/5872"}
