I'm trying to run backfill with the following parameter. How can I access this in the Python script?
Do I need to change anything in the yml?

I usually set task parameters the following way:

These are then parsed using argparse Python module.

Found the following solution:
Add job level parameters:

parameters: - name: run_timestamp default: "some_default_value"

Reference in task level parameters:

tasks: - task_key: my_task spark_python_task: python_file: ../../script.py parameters: - --run-timestamp - "{{job.parameters.run_timestamp}}"

Deploy to Databricks and override default value of job level parameter when triggering the backfill runs.
