Hello,

Assuming a few things

The parent job triggers the child job programmatically
By "job id" I am assuming you mean the job run ID (the actual execution instance), not the static job definition ID.

Trigger the child job using jobs/runnow. The response will give you the child's run_id.

Optionally wait for the child job to finish, if the parent depends on it, using jobs/runs/get

Hi @bricksuser

looks like a common fan-out orchestration patter. your parent job should triger child job programatically and then capture maintain its run_id. you can use databricks jobs api endpoints to start child job.

Use POST /api/2.1/jobs/run-now or POST /api/2.1/jobs/runs/submit.
