Governed tag propagation
With tag propagation enabled on a governed tag, Unity Catalog uses lineage to apply that tag to derived tables and views after supported operations such as CREATE TABLE AS SELECT, CREATE VIEW, INSERT INTO .
What Beta promises
Open to most customers but not for production: support runs through engineering, and the shape of it can still move. On by default on Premium, off on Enterprise.
| Who can use it | Most customers |
|---|---|
| Production use | No |
| Support | Engineering only |
| On by default | Premium yes, Enterprise no |
The definitions are Databricks' own, on its release types page. The label on this page is the one the feature's documentation states, last checked on 13 Oct 2026.
