Hi,  
When I run checkpoints and create documentation locally, the asset name is always missing.  
Is there a special property I need to set in my checkpoint config?  
It does work when I run in GX Cloud.

Data docs main view:

Data docs detail view shows “Data Asset: None”

data\_asset\_name is set Checkpoint config

The test itself runs fine. It is just difficult to filter the test results because the asset name is missing.

Thanks,  
Steffen

Solution:  
data\_asset\_name must be added to batch\_spec\_passthrough

Hi @steffen, I have the same issue but I haven’t figured out where batch\_spec\_passthrough comes into play and I couldn’t find anything helpful in the documentation about this. Would appreciate it if you can help me out 🙂

Hi Laura,  
Sorry for the late response. The value assigned to data\_asset\_name will appear if you add it to the batch\_spec\_passthrough section of your batch\_request

Any questions, please let me know.  
Steffen
