Prefect Community

Hi everybody,

Does anybody know how to make a one-time artifact for a flow run? Love this feature but it is a little pain to delete them)) I would really appreciate to hear your experience.
Thank you in advance

Hey, you can write it based on a parameter input to your Flow, just get the parameter value using `prefect.context.parameters` inside a Flow

Could you tell this a little more in detail?

If you have:
```with Flow(...) as flow:
    persist = Parameter("persist", False)```
and then in your task
```@task
def some_task():
    if prefect.context.parameters["persist"] == True:
        create_artifact()```


So now you can do a quick run in the UI and set the parameter `persist` to True and it’s a one time thing. Does that make sense?
