Hi @chetan-hiwale-hackathon, nice to meet you. Could you provide a bit more detail about what you are observing? In the above issue, we have space to provide "Problem description" and "What I already tried". Could you fill it out? In particular, I'm curious which particular columns are being anonymized, and what would you like to see there instead?

Without any of these details, my general recommendation is to always double-check your metadata. SDV treats metadata as the ground truth to know which columns to anonymize and which ones to model. Any column listed as pii or unknown in your metadata will be anonymized. I would recommend reading the following docs to inspect and update your metadata:

• Metadata spec docs
• Sdtypes
• Metadata API, including inspecting your metadata and updating the columns
