Hi I have noticed that in some of the flows where the cancel/retry button is not on the top right of the ui before the 3 dot button and i have no way to kill the job (it has crashed)

Can you delete the job from the three dot button drop down?

if i delete it means it wont be in history right? but it also wont show the state

The cancel and retry buttons are only visible when the flow run is eligible to be cancelled or retried. We view this as an anti-pattern. We will update the UI to show the buttons, but grey them out when the flow is not eligible.

what is the option i have if i dont want to delete it from the history and dont want it to “keep running”?

Hm, if the process in fact crashed, Prefect should reflect that with a

CRASHED

state. I'm need to know more about your infrastructure and code to understand why that didn't happen, but if this is an isolated issue, you can use the set_flow_run_state method to manually set it to a

CRASHED

state.

ok the background is, it is a parent flow triggering a subflow. The parent flow crashed, but the subflow is still running and theres no cancel or any other button available
