dagster

it is possible to add a group_name direct in the config of an dbt model?

Use the parameter `node_info_to_group_function`

<@U02P92K2FRQ> i`m using the following config, but it`s not working

```{{
  config(
    materialized="incremental",
    schema="assets",
    tags=["asset", "places", "freshness_sensor", "staging"],
    unique_key = 'place_id',
    incremental_strategy = 'merge',
    node_info_to_group_fn = {
        "group_name": "staging"
    },
    dagster_freshness_policy={
        "maximum_lag_minutes": (60 * 7),
        "cron_schedule": "*/40 6-23 * * *",
        "cron_schedule_timezone": "America/Sao_Paulo"
    })
}}```


this will not work. You have to add it as a tag and then when importing into dagster using `load_assets_from_dbt_project`, you use the `node_info_to_group_fn` to pull that tag as a group name

```{{
  config(
    materialized="incremental",
    schema="assets",
    tags=["asset", "places", "freshness_sensor", "staging"],
    unique_key = 'place_id',
    incremental_strategy = 'merge',
    dagster_freshness_policy={
        "maximum_lag_minutes": (60 * 7),
        "cron_schedule": "*/40 6-23 * * *",
        "cron_schedule_timezone": "America/Sao_Paulo"
    })
}}```
Then in dagster, (you can also use `load_assets_from_dbt_manifest`)

```def _node_info_to_group(node_info):
    return node_info["tags"][3]

load_assets_from_dbt_project(
   project_dir='..',
   profiles_dir='..',
   select="tag:staging",
   node_info_to_group_fn=_node_info_to_group
)```
This assumes that in your tags config list, the `staging` tag is always the 4th item in the list

I haven't tested to see if `dbt` will accept additional configs like you have in the `dagster_freshness_policy` , I know you can put anything in under `meta` . But if dbt accepts `dagster_freshness_policy` and `group_name` like you have above, then you can have the change the node_info function:

You can inspect the `manifest.json` to see how the additional parameters you put under `config` to see how it shows in the manifest and then pull it like you will access a python dictionary object. Hope this makes sense

<@U02P92K2FRQ> thanks alot!!! it makes sense
