Define models common configs in folder specific properties.yml.

The problem I’m having

I’d like to define models common configs in the folder specific properties.yml file instead of in the global dbt_project.yml file.

I know this common config can be done using the resource path functionality, but that seems to be usable only in the dbt_project.yml file.

As our project grows bigger, we’d like to avoid growing our dbt_project.yml with a ton of common configs. We also think it would be more readable and maintainable to have a models folder specific common config inside the folder.

What I’ve already tried

I tried adding those line inside my models folder properties.yml file, but that is not taken into account

config:
  +schema: MY_FOLDER_SCHEMA

models:
- name: model_1
  config:
    database: MY_DB
    alias: TABLE_1
- name: model_2
  config:
    database: MY_DB
    alias: TABLE_2

But that results in my models being represented in MY_DB.NONE.TABLE_{1, 2}.

Am I missing something regarding the resource path functionality? Is it possible to use this inside the properties.ymlfiles?
