What causes FEATURE_FLAG_NOT_ENABLED?

A public preview feature was used without opting the workspace into the preview programme. The workspace is on a tier that does not include the feature (e.g., Standard vs. Premium vs. Enterprise). A third-party integration or partner solution requires a Databricks feature flag that was not requested

Step 1: Identify the feature name from the error message and check the Databricks preview feature documentation.. Step 2: In the Databricks account console, navigate to the workspace settings and enable the feature flag if available self-service.. Step 3: If the flag requires Databricks support to enable, open a support ticket referencing your workspace ID.. Step 4: Confirm your workspace tier supports the feature; upgrade the plan if required.

Frequently asked questions

Are feature flags workspace-scoped or account-scoped?

Most preview feature flags in Databricks are workspace-scoped, meaning you can enable them per workspace without affecting other workspaces in the same account.

Will enabling a preview feature affect workspace stability?

Preview features may have incomplete SLAs or known limitations. Review the preview documentation for any caveats before enabling in a production workspace.
