[Feature] Include new state selector for meta #12022
Description
Is this your first time submitting a feature request?
- I have read the expectations for open source contributors
- I have searched the existing issues, and I could not find an existing issue for this feature
- I am requesting a straightforward extension of existing dbt functionality, rather than a Big Idea better suited to a discussion
Describe the feature
In this document https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/node-selection/methods#state, a state:modified.configs selector is included, which is helpful to tweak executions based on state.
However, it is often the case that one has a meta: section within the config and this metadata may or may not actually impact the behaviour of the model (e.g. I may have a owner of the model in the meta section and if the owner of the model changes I don't want to reprocess it as the behaviour of the model did not change).
Because of this, it would be helpful to have a state:modified.configs.meta or simply state:modified.meta, which would include/exclude all models which had their metadata changed.
