Hi Everyone, does anyone know how to get the results for each task to be displayed on the UI?

hi <@U04TJA37S12> - do you mean the actual result values? the API does not store those

ah okay - ill have to grab it from the DB then huh

sorry, I mean Prefect in general does not store the results of your tasks, only references (result_storage_key) to where they live on your infra

<https://docs.prefect.io/latest/concepts/results/#storage-of-results-in-prefect>

I see, so if its saved as a json for example, the results will be there instead

theres no way for it to be shown on the UI?

if you say `persist_result=True` it will be saved to whatever result storage you have, by default local storage at like `~/.prefect/storage/*` wherever you're running but you can set that on a per task basis or set `PREFECT_DEFAULT_RESULT_STORAGE_BLOCK=s3/some-block` as needed

if you want stuff in the UI I'd check out <https://docs.prefect.io/latest/concepts/artifacts/|artifacts>, which are meant to be displayed in the UI

ah gotcha! Thank you :slightly_smiling_face: , we just wanted a log of results for every task/subflow

Artifacts sounds pretty useful for our situation then
