Run a subset of job tasks with their dependencies

UpdateJun 30, 2026VerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026

When you run a subset of a job's tasks, you can now expand your selection to include each task's dependencies. Add the + modifier to a task key to also run its upstream tasks ( +my_task ), its downstream tasks ( my_task+ ), or both ( +my_task+ ). Start a partial run from the UI, the REST API, the Databricks CLI, the SDKs, or Declarative Automation Bundles.
