Can we add tags to Unity Catalog through Terraform?

[JameDavi_51481]

We use Terraform to manage most of our infrastructure, and I would like to extend this to Unity Catalog. However, we are extensive users of tagging to categorize our datasets, and the only programmatic method I can find for adding tags is to use SQL commands. This completely breaks the declarative model of schema management and forces us to use an imperative model. Is there no way to manage tags through Terraform?

This is a pretty crucial missing feature, I hope this feedback can be passed along to the relevant teams.

Hello,

Is there a plan for the Databricks TF provider support tagging in the near future?

Thanks.

Hello Databricks folks,

Is there a plan for the Databricks TF provider support tagging of UC catalog objects in the near future?

Tags are critical in multi-tenants environments.

Thanks.

FYI, one of our engineers put up a PR over a month ago during an offsprint to add tag support to the Terraform provider, but had to move on to other projects due to the slow review process. It seems pretty easy for someone from the Databricks team to pick this up and get it over the finish line since multiple companies are requesting it.  https://github.com/databricks/terraform-provider-databricks/pull/3268

Thanks @JameDavi_51481 

Guess extending the suggested changes to cover all applicable UC objects (catalogs, schemas, tables, etc.) would address the concern/request.

Thanks.

Having tags with terraform would help a lot. Add them on cluster and schema level is crucial. Looking forward for an update about the open PR.

Is there any progress on this? It would be a really nice feature to be able to tag schemas and tables through Terraform.

It seems very frustrating to many of the users and not to say probably the big clients, waiting over a year for this feature. Anyone from Databricks that could raise this internally to get it done-done would be very appreciated.
