Hello, so it seems Databricks does not allow it - an easy workaround for us is to search directly on our Azure DevOps Repos.

Hi @charliemerrell Yes, Databricks will still open and parse the JSON files, even if you're only selecting _metadata.It must infer schema and perform basic parsing, unless you explicitly avoid it.So, even if you do:.select("_metadata")It doesn't skip...

Click into each policy in the Compute UI of the Workspace to see if the policy ID exists.  If it does, then the account that invoked the SDK method didn't have workspace admin permissions.

Hello @Dulce42! It depends on your use case. If your function covers the scenario well, you don’t need a separate query example. Having both for the same purpose can create redundancy and make things more complex. Choose the option that best fits you...

Hi @Terje, were you able to fix it? From what I know, during the free trial period we’re limited to the default setup, so version mismatches can’t be resolved unless we upgrade to a paid workspace.
