@kapa.ai can I overwrite the source defined cursor for greenhouse?

No, you cannot override a source-defined cursor. For any stream where the connector sets
source_defined_cursor = true
, the cursor is determined internally by the source and the
cursor_field
you configure is ignored. [[Logic cursor](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/understanding-airbyte/airbyte-protocol#logic-for-resolving-the-cursor-field)] The Greenhouse source supports incremental sync modes, but the documentation does not state that its streams allow user-defined cursors, nor does it describe any way to override a source-defined cursor. [[Greenhouse source](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/greenhouse)] So, based on the available docs, if a Greenhouse stream uses a source-defined cursor, you cannot change it via Airbyte configuration.
