:::warning Runners affect referenced Jobs
Comment thread
ronaveva marked this conversation as resolved.
When you reference a Job from another project, Runner usage and configuration can affect the execution flow. The Runner is chosen by the **parent project's** [Runner Selection](/administration/runner/runner-management/project-dispatch-configuration.md) setting, not the referenced Job's project:

- **Automatic:** Runner selection is made in the parent project; the referenced Job's project configuration is not taken into account.
- **Manual:** Runner selection is made per Job, and the referenced Job's project configuration is honored.

The Job Reference form provides a Job browser to make it easier to
select from the existing set of saved Jobs.
Click the "Choose A Job..." link and navigate to the desired Job.
