Prefect Community

Is it possible for a prefect flow to spin up a dynamic number of other flows based on the output of a task? I see in these <https://docs.prefect.io/core/idioms/flow-to-flow.html|docs> some examples of spinning up a static number of flows but I would love to have the number of children flows vary from run to run.

Yup!
`create_flow_run`  is just like any other prefect task, meaning it can be <https://docs.prefect.io/core/concepts/mapping.html#prefect-approach|mapped>.
So a task would output a list, and you would use `create_flow_run.map`  to map over that list. That would spin up as many flows as the length of your output list.
