DLT Pipelines with DABs - Support for tags field?

mikvaar — Mon, 26 May 2025 08:26:13 GMT

Hi all,

I'm working with DABs and trying to define tags for DLT pipelines in the bundle YAML config. However, adding a `tags:` block under the pipeline results in the following warning:

Warning: unknown field: tags

This suggests that tags might not be currently supported when defining pipelines via DABs.

Questions:

Is this behavior intentional?
Is support for tagging pipelines via DABs on roadmap?
Are there any known workaround to apply tags programmatically to DLT pipelines in CI/CD workflow?

The ability to define tags is important for us for tracking versioning, deployment target, context etc. Would appreciate any help from Databricks team or the community.

Thanks!

Hi @mikvaar,

Yes, tags are not supported yet in DABs, but it is in the roadmap. The ETA for this is around first or second week of June.

Are tags supported in DAB for pipeline now?

Hi,
Yes tagging DLT pipelines now work via DAB YAML configuration. Make sure to update the Databricks CLI, I am using v0.263.0.

Yes, it's working now. It's working with Databricks CLI version 260.0 too.
