Hi all! I have been playing around with dependant flows, and was looking at using

get_task_run_result

to retrieve task results from the child flow, however I was getting errors where it couldn't find a task with the provided slug (which I had set to 'output') - I thought it was an issue with my results location until I realized that despite annotating the child task like so:

@task(slug="output",result=GCSResult(...

the slug name (as visible in the context) was

output-copy

. I now got

get_task_run_result

working by grabbing the task with slug

output-copy

but was unsure of how the

-copy

came about. Is this documented anywhere?

Hey @Elijah Moreau-Arnott, first, this isn’t documented because slugs are primarily internal facing things that users don’t have to worry about. The specific answer to your question is that there is a specific case where if you provide a

slug

to

task

and use it inside a Flow block

with Flow…

, then it will generate the copy. If you don’t provide the slug, the

copy

won’t appear.

If slugs are primarily internal facing - am I doing this as intended? I assumed that using

get_task_run_result

from a separate flow required the use of named slugs to determine the desired task

Hey Elijah, I see your point. Will ask the team about this and see what we can do about it.

I think I would consider this a bug in slug generation
