Description
Preflight Checklist
- I have installed the latest version of Power Query SDK.
- I have checked existing resources, including the common issues and the release notes.
- I have searched for similar issues.
Problem
The new native query UI displays a sample SQL native query. SQL is not always the native query language used by a system, so this example may confuse users.

Desired Solution
It would be nice to have a way to override the example native query that is displayed in the UI so that it can be set to something domain specific.

Research direction
Start by locating the new native query UI and the code that displays the current sample SQL query. Determine how an override could be supplied for a domain-specific native query, and consider the existing Power Query SDK resources before defining the change. Done means the displayed example can be configured instead of always using SQL.
