I did something similar to what you suggests and it worked, the key insight was that connect and connect_configuration work differently in terms of overrides, thanks!

it is a configuration object (line of my code:
config_path = task.connect_configuration(config_path)

ok, I will do a simple workaround for this (use an additional parameter that I can update using parameter_override and then check if it exists and update the configuration in python myself)

Yep sounds good, something like this?
from clearml.utilities.dicts import ReadOnlyDict, merge_dicts overrides = {} task.connect(overrides) configuration = {#stuff here} task.connect_configuration(configuration) merge_dicts configuration.update(overrides)BTW: this will allow you to override any specific configuration (even nested) with "General/key/sub"
(do notice that casting might be tricky, assume you will get everything in String)

which is probably why it does not work for me, right?

Hi UpsetTurkey67

"General/my_parameter_name" so that only this part of the configuration will be updated?

I'm assuming this is a Hyperparameter not a configuration object (i.e. task.connect not task.connect_configuration), if this is the case then Yes 🙂

which is probably why it does not work for me, right?

Correct, you need to pass the entire configuration (it is stored as a blob, as opposed to the hyperparameters that are stored as individual values)
:param configuration_overrides: Optional, override Task configuration objects. Expected dictionary of configuration object name and configuration object content. Examples: {'General': dict(key='value')} {'General': 'configuration file content'} {'OmegaConf': YAML.dumps(full_hydra_dict)}

ok, I will do a simple workaround for this (use an additional parameter that I can update using parameter_override and then check if it exists and update the configuration in python myself)
