Hi, can anyone tell me why underscores and caps are not accepted for block or variable names in the UI when the docs say that they should be allowed? Maybe a prefect setting I am missing? thx.

Hi Dan! Sounds like there’s a mismatch between the ui and the docs. Can you share the page of the docs you’re referring to? Thanks!

https://docs.prefect.io/2.13.1/api-ref/prefect/blocks/system/ - the examples given have upper case names and underscores

Ok cool. Thanks for sharing. Let me take a look and get back to you

Much appreciated Jenny

Thanks for the patience. I had a quick look and I think the doc examples are using uppercase there as a placeholder not an example. "BLOCK_NAME" is representing where you'd put your block name! I can see that's confusing though. The actual variables section of the docs does a pretty good job of setting out that names should adhere to traditional naming conventions: https://docs.prefect.io/latest/guides/variables/?h=variables I can see an argument for adjusting those rules if there's a user demand for more flexibility. I'd encourage you to open an issue in the prefect repo so we can track interest in it
