### Add a schema consolidation search value

You may need to horizontally scroll in the editable grid.

For the JSON Tutorial, use:

```
Y|Cre|Shipment
```

### Add a schema consolidation SQL expression

For the JSON tutorial, use: 

```
CONCAT('|',REGEXP_SUBSTR(OBJECT_KEYS(VARIANT_COL)::STRING, 'Y\|Cre\|Shipment\|(\d+)', 1, 1, 'e', 1))
```

### Add more schema consolidation search and expression values

For the JSON tutorial, apply the same values as above to the `Y|Cre|Shipment.shipment_status` attribute.
