i’m not sure if this is a support question or a feature request: i’ve got a flow of flows set up, meaning that a top level flow kicks off a DAG of other flows i have created. my issue is that i can’t easily access the flow run of the subflows from within the page for the top-level flow run. i can click on
person-build
in the schematic view, but that just takes me to the local (“zoomed-in”) view of the task itself, i can’t see the DAG for the person-build flow run. the only workaround I’ve found is to inspect the logs and copy the link to the flow run from there. am i missing something obvious or is there no easy way to access a subflow’s details? this is basically our setup:
Copy code
person_build_flow = StartFlowRun(flow_name="person-build", project_name=get_stage(), wait=True)
release_flow = StartFlowRun(flow_name="release", project_name=get_stage(), wait=True)

with Flow(
    "build-then-release",
    executor=LocalDaskExecutor(num_workers=8),
    result=PrefectResult(),
) as flow:
    release_flow(upstream_tasks=[person_build_flow])

Hey @Martim Lobao, this is a feature request to be able to see the subflows in some way from the parent flow page. We are aware it’s a bad user experience and we are working on a way to support this in a first class way

Maybe a bit late now, but meanwhile, you can resort to Artifacts and click the link shown for Flow person-build instead. This will take you to the DAG. Hope it helps

thanks, i’ll check out artifacts @J. Martins 👍
