08/15/2023, 6:40 AMHi, is it possible to set the timeout and retries at deployment level? We have a flow which operates on a database table given as a parameter and multiple deployments (each for a different table). We would like to set different timeouts and retry logic for different deployments, so we can still have a single flow and not duplicated the entire flow just to have a specific timeout. Thanks!

But you can write your flows such that the flows accept the timeouts and retry and bind them to the parameters on your deployments.

And do the retry logic in ur flow
