is it possible that this value is being predefined when the flow is built/registered and thus not using the most up to date value (the one at flow execution time)?

Hi @Kyle McChesney - I think you’re correct that those values are being determined at registration and not execution time; try moving that import into the task itself. So long as the

settings.py

file is importable within the docker image you should be able to get the correct env values

You might also want to look into script-based storage vs pickle-based https://docs.prefect.io/orchestration/flow_config/storage.html#pickle-vs-script-based-storage -- if you're using pickle-based storage those values could get pickled at registration time instead of execution time.

Thanks! I moved the imports into the function for now. I will look at script storage
