Resolved! Run_type has some null

Just wondering — we know that the run_type column in the job run timeline usually has only three values: JOB_RUN, SUBMIT_RUN, and WORKFLOW_RUN. So why do we also see a null value there? Any reason?

Hi @holunder ,This could be because the backend stores both the original and cloned versions of folders, even if only one appears in the web UI. The Databricks CLI exports everything from the backend, not just what's visible in the UI.
