@uranusjr First, estimate the usecase for the most recent run, as opposed to ExternalTaskSensor, which looks for a run at a specific logical time. The usecase in question isn't worried about historical runs, meaning that the most recent contains all the data and references desired. Second, compare OPs request to the [current version of the ExternalTaskSensor](https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/_modules/airflow/sensors/external_task.html#ExternalTaskSensor) class, and the usecase presented. > What time should be used to compare runs? The logical time. That's how the current class does it. > Does it include manually triggered runs? If so, how should the times between manual and scheduled runs be compared? It doesn't look like the current class differentiates, so this one probably shouldn't either. Remember the most recent run (logical time-wise) contains all the references needed. If the logical time on a manual run is later than the logical time on any scheduled run, then the manual run is likely the one desired. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
