Hi community 🙂 I improved the return value of the

StartFlowRun

Task at https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/pull/4245 and have some minor concerns about it being a breaking change. I expect that nobody was using the return value because it was undocumented but I'm curious if anyone here was? Let me know what you think!

we use it (like this) but would be happy to update for a more useful return type

try:
    StartFlowRun(...)
except prefect.engine.signals.PrefectStateSignal as signal:
                # Parse out flow run from signal `STATE("...finished in state ..."`)
                # (see StartFlowRun.run)
    flow_run_id, *_ = signal.args[0].split()
