Does the "--full-refresh" tag in dbt carry over to parent/children models?

I am running the following command dbt run -s +model --full-refresh where some of the parent models are also incremental tables.

I am not sure if --full-refresh is also applied to the parent incremental models or do they run incrementally?

Yes. The full-refresh option is applied to the run command, which includes all of the models you specify with the -s option. This includes any parent or child models that are picked up when using a + modifier.

The exception to this is if you have a full_refresh option set to false in the model config.

models:
  [<resource-path>](resource-path):
    +full_refresh: false

or

{{ config(
    full_refresh = false
) }}

select ...

If specified as true or false, the full_refresh config will take precedence over the presence or absence of the --full-refresh flag.
