My notebooks running in parallel no longer include jobids

Hey Databricks - what happened to the jobids that used to be returned from parallel runs? We used them to identify which link matched the output. See attached. How are we supposed to match up the links?

Hi Kaniz,

Thank you for your prompt reply. It is greatly appreciated. These job clusters are spun up on demand. There are no Job Names, and nothing to configure or reconfigure in the Workflows tab. We are already passing parameters to the child notebooks and have been capturing the job id along the way to identify which ephemeral notebook we may wish to troubleshoot. Previously, this was an easy way to identify the associated link with the messaging passed back from the child notebook. I do notice that Ctrl-F and a search on a specific "parameter value" will highlight the "new link" as well as the messaging from the child notebook, indicating which link to click on. However, Ctrl-F and a search on the job id does not highlight the link, leaving one to hunt and peck for the correct link, if no parameter value is available. Honestly? This seems like an oversight...... The job id is readily available in the task run details - why not keep it surfaced? I'm lucky that my design already includes the parameters and that the Ctrl-F can find them, but for designs that didn't include this......could be a rewrite.

Thank you for your attention,

Benedetta

This issue seems to have resolved itself - the jobids are again available for viewing and clicking on to get to the ephemeral notebook.

Did Databricks roll back a version of the UI?

Thanks!

Hello,

This problem (feature?) is occurring again today. The job ids are obscured from the new output that Databricks is providing. The original png file attached still represents the issue. Additionally, and potentially a worse problem, is that the ephemeral notebooks are missing - the notebook links provided merely point to the notebook which was run, not the actual run of that notebook. How do we troubleshoot this? what's going on?

Thank you for your attention

Hey @Databricks, @Retired_mod - waccha doing? Yesterday's "newer version of the app" that got rolled out seems to have broken the parallel runs. The ephemeral notebook is missing. The job ids are missing. What's up?
