Jira issue(s): PROOF-XXX

Documents the rollout of the BigQuery input-mapping default load type, on the Loading type (Snowflake and BigQuery) section of the Mappings page.

Builds on the recently merged load-type documentation (CLONE/VIEW/COPY + AUTO). Reframes the "New default on BigQuery" note to match the actual phased rollout:

Changes:

  • The BigQuery input-mapping default is controlled by the BigQuery Input Mapping – Default Load Type View feature. While enabled (current state in most projects), input tables default to VIEW — and that's fine, nothing changes for users.
  • To make CLONE the default now, disable the feature in Settings → Features.
  • Keboola is gradually disabling the feature across all BigQuery projects, completing by July 30, 2026, after which CLONE becomes the default for everyone.

Note: the "disable in Settings → Features" instruction assumes the bigquery-default-im-view feature is admin-manageable from the UI. That enablement (kbc-stacks canBeManageByAdmin: true + UI allowlist) is tracked separately and should ship together with this doc.

Explain that the BigQuery input-mapping default is controlled by the
"BigQuery Input Mapping – Default Load Type View" feature: while enabled
(current state in most projects) input tables default to VIEW; disabling it
in Settings → Features makes CLONE the default. Note the gradual rollout
completing by July 30, 2026, after which CLONE becomes the default for all
BigQuery projects.

Verdict: needs_human (risk 3/5) · profile docs

This PR introduces new product-behaviour claims and a specific rollout date that require human confirmation before shipping.

Concerns:

  • src/content/docs/transformations/mappings/index.md: Instruction to 'disable in Settings → Features' may not work until a separate UI change ships.
  • src/content/docs/transformations/mappings/index.md: Specific rollout date 'July 30, 2026' is a load-bearing business claim that cannot be verified from the diff.
  • src/content/docs/transformations/mappings/index.md: New product-behaviour claims (VIEW default, CLONE fallback logic) need product-team confirmation.

Suggested reviewers: keboola/docs

Updated the rollout completion date for a feature in BigQuery projects.

Pull request overview

Updates the Mappings documentation to reflect the phased rollout of BigQuery’s input-mapping default load behavior and how it is controlled via a feature flag, so users understand what to expect and how to opt into CLONE earlier.

Changes:

  • Replaces the previous “New default on BigQuery” note with an explanation of the BigQuery Input Mapping – Default Load Type View feature flag and its impact on defaults.
  • Adds instructions for disabling the feature in Settings → Features to make CLONE the default immediately.
  • Documents the planned rollout timeline (completing by July 30, 2026) after which CLONE becomes the default for all BigQuery projects.

On BigQuery, the default input-mapping load type is controlled by the **BigQuery Input Mapping – Default Load Type View**
feature. While this feature is enabled --- the current state in most projects --- input tables default to `VIEW`, just as
before. That's perfectly fine, and nothing changes for you.
