hello! I am new to working with prefect artifacts and wanted to ask if there are any methods I can use to update the values in a single column of a prefect table artifact to use later in my script?

Prefect doesn’t provide a built-in artifact table method, if that’s what you’re looking for. However, if you’re using pandas or a similar library in an earlier step, you could take a single column of values and then use it later however you liked.

that makes sense, thanks! is there a way for me to use values saved in a pandas dataframe to create an updated artifact table?

You can use the pandas

to_dict

method to create a dictionary and Prefect’s

create_table_artifact

takes a list of dicts or a dict or lists. Docs here.
