Why doesn't my asset status update after backfill completion?

Last updated: October 16, 2025

If you notice that your asset status indicator doesn't turn green after completing a backfill partition job, this may be related to the auto_materialize_policy setting in your asset configuration.

To resolve this visualization issue:

  1. First try refreshing the asset status in the UI

  2. If the issue persists, modify your asset configuration by removing or disabling the auto_materialize_policy

Here's an example of how to modify your asset configuration:

@asset( 
  ins={'your_input': AssetIn(key='input_asset')}, 
  io_manager_key='your_io_manager', 
  partitions_def=YOUR_PARTITION_DEFINITION, 
  # Remove or set to None: 
  auto_materialize_policy=None )
