Hi everyone, I have a task that I want to dynamically assign tags for when invoking the task (there is an argument my_tags), and i want to add it to tags in this manner. Im not sure why there's an error, can anyone explain why this doesnt work?

hey @Charles Leung - i think its just because we don't template in parameters for tag values there instead you can use

with_options

like this

In [1]: from prefect import flow, task

In [2]: @task
   ...: def foo():
   ...:     pass
   ...:

In [3]: @flow
   ...: def bar():
   ...:     foo.with_options(tags={"special-tag"})()

ah okay interesting. I was reading the code and thought it meant we could pass in a list in the decorator, but I could be mistaken

you can pass tags into the decorator to define the tags statically!

with_options

is just a

@classmethod

that allows you the pass those decorator kwargs in again (after defining it), which is espcially helpful when you want to customize a task definition based on runtime data (e.g. set tags for a task based on inputs for a flow) for certain decorator kwargs (result_storage_key, task_run_name etc) , we make the parameters of the task templatable like you tried first but we don't do that for

tags

as far as I know

oh I see - understood. One new issue I found when inserting

._with_options()

is that it now does not rename my task name and keeps it as the name of the function (async_query). This is how I'm invoking the task within my flow:

hmm if you're just using

task_name

to name your prefect task, you could just remove

task_name

as a kwarg of our task and just pass

name="1_data_wait..."

to

with_options

along with

tags

yeah i was thinking that too - i changed it and its all working now
