Prefect Community

Hi all,

I got a question regarding the `apply_map`function of Prefect. Is it possible to run this from within a task as well, as I am getting the following error:

```ValueError("Couldn't infer a flow in the current context")   ```

Basically `apply_map` unpacks all of the tasks inside and adds them to the Flow, so I don’t think it can be used inside a task because that would imply a task inside a task

Is there a way to apply_map to an apply_map?

I am not 100% sure, but I think so. Think of `apply_map` as a native Python function that outputs tasks, but you can’t have non-task stuff like `if-else` inside. So it’s hard for me to visualize how this would work.
