File information is not passed to trigger job on file arrival

[Rik]

We are using the UC mechanism for triggering jobs on file arrival, as described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/workflows/jobs/file-arrival-triggers.

Unfortunately, the trigger doesn't actually pass the file-path that is generating the trigger to the job... (The Run Parameters are empty). Is there any way to get this information?

For now, we do not send the file details as part of the trigger. The trigger is used to run a pipeline.

Alternately, You can use autoloader as part of the triggered pipeline to get the details of the file that arrived.

That doesn't quite fit our requirements unfortunately... Are there any plans on adding this functionality?

We have got this request from other Customers too. Our Engineering team is already notified of this and there is an internal ticket for the same. But we don't have an ETA for now.

Could you please provide an update on the status of this particular request? Additionally, do we have any ETA for it?
