Google Cloud Copy
Copy or snapshot BigQuery tables
Runs a table copy job between tables or partitions. Supports COPY, SNAPSHOT, RESTORE, or CLONE operations and honors create/write dispositions. The job id is derived from the taskrun, so a worker-loss resubmit adopts the job the lost worker started instead of running it twice. A retry after a failed job submits under the next id in a deterministic chain (kestra_<taskRunId>_1, _2, ...).

Destination table
Target table for the operation; must match the selected operation type
sourceTables *array
Source tables
Tables or partitions to copy; accepts partition decorators
assets
Assets this task consumes as inputs or produces as outputs, for lineage tracking and the asset graph (Enterprise Edition). A flow declaring this property on a task is rejected in the open-source edition.

IGNOREFAILWARNAsset failure behavior
Behavior applied to the task state when a declared asset fails to render, emit, or be persisted (e.g. a lock conflict): FAIL escalates it to FAILED, WARN (default) warns it if it would otherwise succeed, IGNORE leaves the state untouched.
Whether to auto-register assets referenced dynamically at runtime that are not statically declared in inputs or outputs.
The assets consumed as inputs.
