Task level Definition

ChinuLee — Tue, 06 May 2025 22:34:29 GMT

Hello,

According to the databricks_job resource terraform documentation, the description argument is supported at the task level. However, when I update the Terraform configuration to include a task description, the terraform plan reflects the change—but I don’t see any updates in the Databricks UI. Additionally, when manually creating a job or task in the UI, there doesn’t appear to be a field for entering a task description. Is the description field actually supported for tasks? Am I missing something here?

Hi @ChinuLee, the task-level description appears to be hidden in the UI, both during manual creation and when viewing tasks after creation. However, it is visible when you choose the "View as Code" option, as shown below:

So it is supported, just hidden in the UI.
