## The problem I’m having

I want to document a view that I have like env\_var

## The context of why I’m trying to do this

I would like to see all column descriptions when I do a dbt docs generate and dbt docs serve after

## Some example code or error messages

```auto
version: 2

models:
  - name: "{{ env_var('DEV_LAKEHOUSE_TABLE') }}"
    description: test
    columns:
      - name: source
        description: test

```

## The warning I received in the terminal:

```auto
dbt docs generate
11:14:22 Running with dbt=1.5.1
11:14:23 [WARNING]: Did not find matching node for patch with name 'bd_dev_audit_iceberg_tf' in the 'models' section of file 'models/doc/views.yml'

```
