What happened:
In the Trigger Dag view for a specific Dag, the view asks for JSON formatted object as inpunt.
In the Dag Runs view (list), it shows python formatted object in the Conf column.
Despite JSON and Python formating being quite similar they differ in respect to string quotation marks: json uses double-quotes(") and python uses single quote(').
This makes annoying to copy a previously used config to a new trigger.
What you expected to happen:
I would expect a consistent read/write of Dag Run configuration.
In particular require a Json in the Trigger Dag view, and display a Json in the DAG Runs view.
How to reproduce it:
- Trigger a DAG manually passing a Json dict
{"test": "this is a test"}. - Go to Dag Runs view, it shows as
{'test': 'this is a test'}
Anything else we need to know:
This is not application breaking issue, more a quality of life/usability issue.
I imagine it would be a minor change and could be tagged as an first issue
