dagster

How can i select a subset of  assets in dagster  based on config. For example if i have 30 assets I would like to choose a subset of them for each configuration. My config would be something like:
```config:
   job_type: ml
   job_sub_type: parameters ```
or another example would be:
```config:
   job_type: etl
   job_sub_type: batch_tables ```
So based on this, I would like to choose subset of assets.

This asset based job is triggered from a sensor, so likely that sensor can choose  the assets through the `asset_selection`   in `RunRequest`

However for cases where this asset based job is run standalone, Not sure how to select assets based on config

hi <@U051B9Z2FLK>! there's no way to convert config to an asset selection, as both of these properties end up as parameters to the underlying `RunRequest`  (so one can't impact the other)

for sensors, you're correct that the `asset_selection` in the `RunRequest` would work. for standalone jobs, I'd recommend just making two separate jobs, i.e.:

```ml_job = define_asset_job("ml", selection=AssetSelection.&lt;something&gt;, config=...)

etl_job = define_asset_job("etl", selection=AssetSelection.&lt;something else&gt;, config=...)```
