Setting a preset list of values in a task parameter in databricks job

MKTexas13 — Wed, 09 Oct 2024 15:49:36 GMT

I want to be able to have a user select from a preset list of values for a task parameter when they kick off a job with the "Run now with different parameters" option. In a notebook I am able to use dbutils.widgets.dropdown() to set the list of values but is there a way to do that from the job? The notebook has additional logic to account for any entered parameter values that don't fall into the list but want to avoid potential errors by setting it in the job task. I found this community post but looking for an update on this: https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/dropdown-for-parameters-in-a-job/td-p/22727

Thanks!

Unfortunately providing a job params dropdown list is not currently available, you can alway do a Run with different params, but the user will have to change them manually and not with a predefined list.
