Hi @Marvin, I am assigning the names of the flow_run myself. Are they duplicable? I mean, if today I launch a flow with flow_run_name = 'production_process' and tomorrow I launch the flow again with the same flow_run_name, will that cause any problems?

According to Prefect documentation and GitHub issue insights: Prefect allows you to set custom names for flow runs using the
flow_run_name
parameter or generating names dynamically via a function. There is no explicit mention of issues or conflicts arising from using duplicate
flow_run_name
values. It appears that using the same name for different flow runs does not inherently cause problems or errors. However, it is generally good practice to use unique names for better traceability and debugging. For more details, refer to the source documentation: - Flow Run Naming - GitHub Issue on Custom Flow Run Names If you need further assistance or wish to confirm specific behaviors, I recommend testing with a few sample runs or checking with the Prefect community.
