[Type2] Allow Incremental Refresh type schedules to be added via server.schedules.add_to_schedule #1101
Description
Summary
For content with incremental refresh set up, allow for functionality to assign schedules as Incremental Refresh.
Description
Currently, there is no option to add incremental refresh type schedules via TSC. This functionality exists on Tableau Server when content is set up for incremental refreshes. server.schedules.add_to_schedule has an option for task_type (code), but no string option is acceptable for incremental type.

This is being worked on internally and should be available in 2023.

Partial update on this. Incremental refresh triggering shipped in TSC v0.39 (Feb 2026) for Tableau Server API 3.25+:
TaskRequest.refresh_req(incremental=True)(seerequest_factory.py:1244-1251), reachable viaserver.datasources.refresh(datasource, incremental=True). That covers on-demand runs.The original ask here — scheduling an incremental refresh via
server.schedules.add_to_schedule— is not implemented.TaskItem.Typestill only definesExtractRefresh/DataAcceleration/RunFlow, andschedules.add_to_schedulehas no path for an incremental task type. The Tableau UI does let you set this up (per the screenshot in the original description), so this is really a Type 2 (UI supports it; REST API doesn't expose it yet). Retagging accordingly.
