Does Dataform support `ALLOW_FIELD_ADDITION` for incremental table related jobs ?
Big Query does support addition of new column if it does not exist. For incremental tables there might be instances that a new column might be added. Hence it would be beneficial to have a parameter like ALLOW_FIELD_ADDITION=true which will add new columns in the target table if they are added in the source table

Yes please! This is very painful in models with heavy use of incrementals.
Note: this implementation for this is similar to the request in https://github.com/dataform-co/dataform/issues/1359, as it interacts with the API in the same way.
