Hi all, quick question about accessing metadata on

AssetMaterialization

events. I have an

op

which yields this event:

yield AssetMaterialization(
    asset_key="something_important",
    metadata={
        "path": EventMetadata.text("path/to/something/important")
    }
)

I have a

job

in a completely different repository listening for this event, which relies on that value for

path

in the metadata. I've found that I can access the metadata in my

asset_sensor

function using this:

asset_event.dagster_event.event_specific_data.materialization.metadata_entries[0].entry_data.text

This seems a bit convoluted though. Is there a better way to access

AssetMaterialization

metadata so that it can be passed on to future jobs?

Hey Ginger, thanks for the question. Unfortunately this is currently the only way to access metadata from asset events, though we'd like to eventually improve this.

Thank you @claire for confirming! I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a better way to do this!
