Prefect Community

Hopefully a simple question: In the definition of task (<https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/prefect/tasks.py>) it doesnt give any explanation of what cache_result_in_memory means. Can someone briefly explain what happens when that is True and what are the possibly implications if set to False?

I think this should be covered in the docs

<https://docs.prefect.io/concepts/results/#caching-of-results-in-memory>

Please let me know if you have questions still! I wrote those docs and am happy to help.

This makes a lot of sense -- I cant believe it was right there in the docs and I asked here :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:. Thanks again Zanie.
