+## Updates
+- Updates the `pivot_json_extract` macro to include additional formats of fields using a new `name` and `alias` argument to be pivoted out into columns. Specifically, allowing for fields with `.` to be replaced with `_`, for metadata variables to accept dictionaries in addition to strings, and for aliasing of fields. ([PR #92](https://github.com/fivetran/dbt_fivetran_utils/pull/92))
