04/11/2023, 5:39 PMif you look at the source code seems that just the client gets updated but i don't see any changes to the context?

04/11/2023, 5:50 PMyeah, i saw that, too. so there is no way to force an update to the context, even though it doesn't like it?

04/11/2023, 5:52 PM^^ this says that its possible to modify the global context. but seems that it can't be used within a flow block, ex:
Copy code
with Flow():
with prefect.context(flow_run_name=flow_run_name):
