Hi everybody! I'm researching the possibility to use prefect instead of airflow. Everything looks good but has prefect any alternative to airflow variables? (Parameters that can be configured from UI, not before each runs but once when needed)

Hey @Max Ivanchenko, Iām not 100% familiar with the way Airflow does it but you can set a Flow with default parameters, and then change them during runtime by supplying them when you kick of a flow run (either through the API or through the UI). Does that answer you?

If you kick a Flow off without supplying, it will just use the default Parameters

Can default parameters be set from UI?
