Specify cluster when using dbutils.notebook API

Hello! Anyone know if there is a way of specifying cluster when using dbutils.notebook.run() ? As i understand it, this command will create a job compute on the run? but what if I want to use my general purpose cluster? I have been thinking of %run but it just doesn't feel like a proper way of executing multiple notebooks from a "main" notebook..

Hi @ErikJ ,

When you run a child notebook from parent notebook, the child notebook will use the same cluster.
