Abstract
The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for enabling data source extensions for individual customers of a cloud platform. One example method includes receiving an extension request, from a particular customer, to extend a data source used to populate an application output. A selection is received of at least one field to be included in a data source extension that extends the data source. Extensibility metadata is stored, in association with the particular customer, that defines the data source extension. The extensibility metadata identifies the data source, the particular customer, and the selected at least one field. A data request is received, from a client device of a user of the customer, for a field included in the data source extension. The data source extension is used to retrieve a field value for the field and the field value is provided in response to the data request.
