Hey folks, I'd like to be able to push a Flow Group's start date back arbitrarily to act as a hacky "Delay Run" method. I'm seeing that the mutation set_flow_group_schedule should do the trick, but its input parameters only give "timezone" as an option. This makes sense since you can pass in multiple clocks, but both the cron_clock_input and interval_clock_input lack start_date as well in the API. It looks like when you use the API to create/update a Flow Group's schedule, it just plops datetime.now() in as the start date, but I'd like to be able to define it per clock. Can somebody point me in the right direction on adding functionality like this to Apollo/Hasura?

Hey @Nathan Walker, just wanna make sure I understand this right, you want to add a Clock, but not have it be effective immediately and you want it to be effective after a certain start date?

Hey Kevin, yeah, that's it. I just want the Flow Group clocks in the API to function like they do when I hard-code them for a Flow in Python.

Gotcha so you’re saying that the Python API lets you put a start_date but the GraphQL API doesn’t have such a feature?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean - could you define "Python API"? I don't mean making API calls directly in Python, I mean creating a CronClock or IntervalClock instance in Python allows you to pass start_date.

Oh I just meant using this https://docs.prefect.io/api/latest/schedules/clocks.html . Yep we’re on the same page!

Same page! Great. Yes, then the Python API allows you to specify start_date but the GraphQL API doesn't.

Can you put an issue in the server repo to support future start dates with the GraphQL API?

For sure!

Thank you! 🙂
