Hi, community, quick question: I have a parametrized (with Prefects' Parameters) flow and i would like to schedule the same flow to run, lets say, at 14 o'clock each day. But, the same flow should run multiple times with different parameters. As i was looking into it, it seems there is no way to do it through the UI, only on the flow itself, unless i re-register the flow with different names. Is this correct? I was unable to find any guidelines regarding this on the docs. Thanks in advance.

Was this what you were thinking? https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/issues/3994

Exactly. Thank you so much. So, confirming, currently there is no way to schedule a same flow with different parameters through the UI. I think something like this would be very welcome in future versions.

I am not 100% sure what you mean with through the UI, when creating a parameter you can provide a default value which would be displayed in the UI. When you the go to the specific flow run you can then see what value the parameter had in that run.

@Matheus Calvelli it's not clear what you're asking for here. You want the the flow to run (let's say) 3 times at 14:00 but with different parameters for each run?
m
Yeah. It can be at different times too.

Per the thread that Dave linked, that's possible in the code with multiple clocks (they could have the same schedule) as in the docs https://docs.prefect.io/core/concepts/schedules.html#varying-parameter-values but this is not available in the UI yet.

I know i can see the default parameters and change it, but i cant schedule the same flow with different parameters at different
times*
Yeah, i got that.

You're welcome to follow the issue at https://github.com/PrefectHQ/ui/issues/541 for this feature to be added to the UI
