Latest version pointer for versioned models
The latest_version_pointer_enabled_by_default flag is a beta feature in dbt Core v1.12.
| Loading table... |
The latest_version_pointer_enabled_by_default flag is set to false by default in dbt Core v1. In Fusion, this flag defaults to true, which enables the latest version pointer for all versioned models automatically.
When you set it to true, dbt automatically creates a latest version pointer view for every versioned model in the project, without requiring per-model configuration. The pointer view is named after the model's base name (for example, dim_customers) and always points to the relation for the model with is_latest_version: true (for example, dim_customers_v2).
Without this flag, you must opt in per model by setting latest_version_pointer.enabled: true in the model config.
