Skip materialization of dbt assets based on condition

[kennycontreras]

Hey all 👋

I have created a @dbt_assets from some selected dbt models using a manifest, let's call them X, Y, Z.

These are materialization models that will run three times a day.

My problem is, that some models should run based on specific conditions.
E.g., Y model should be materialized only when UTC hour time is 5.
I have no problem passing configs to the @dbt_assets created. The issue comes about overriding the --select arg.

I tried to do the following

dbt_args += ["--select", " ".join(selected_models)]

But this creates the --select flag twice.

Probably --exclude will work, but I wanted to ask if there's a proper way/solution to override the --select arg from @dbt_assets or other suggestion that you may have to achieve this task.

If you need more info. please just let me know.
Thanks.
