Specify format for external models globally

[sergun]

How to specify globally in yml configs (not in *.sql files) format (e.g. format="json") to be used for external models ?

Does this not work? https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/model-configs

@jwills
Thanks! Yes, it does.

Sorry, it was my mistake. Configurations like:

models:
  hc:
    +materialized: external
    format: json

in dbt_project.yml work perfectly.
