Is there a way to quickly start running an existing flow starting with a task in the middle of the dependency graph? (treating like all its dependencies have already been met)

Hi @Jasono! Not at the moment. We’d like to support running arbitrary tasks in the graph (and downstream) at some point in the future
For now, if this is something you think you might need often, you can pass a parameter to your flow and have tasks raise
SKIP
signals if the parameter is
True

Thanks for your response. As an alternative, is there a way to re-run a subset of tasks from a successfully completed run?
I see, let me look into that.

You could set the task you’re thinking of to
Pending
and change the flow to a
Scheduled
state
Downstream dependencies should re-run

I would set all downstream tasks to
Pending
as well just to be safe
