Hi guys, I have a question about explicitly setting asset materialization status - I have a situation where I want to point a dagit instance to a pre-seeded DB which was backfilled by another dagit instance. Is there a way for me to set my known materialized assets to “materialized” so it doesn’t think it needs to backfill?

You could create an
op
that performs the logic (like crawling the informatino schema checking for table names, dates, etc.) and then issues an explicit AssetMaterialization event in your second dagit. Note that the AssetMaterialization doesn't DO any materializing. It just updates metadata.
