Is there any way to have a Flow only run a portion of the dag? And if so, is it possible to have a Schedule that only runs a portion of the dag?

Hi @Joseph - this isn't possible right now but is something we've heard a lot of support for and are looking into.

One pattern we've seen evolve is that of an "Orchestrator Flow", which is one that could conditionally kick off runs of other flows. So in a pattern like that, you could break out portions of your flow that you might want to run on a schedule into their own flow, and when they need to be run as part of a larger diagram you would use a
StartFlowRun
to do so 🙂
