Hi everyone, is there a way how to rename flow runs before running flow itself? I can rename it with RenameFlowRun task, but this changes the name when the task is running, but we would like to have meaningful flow names before running it. Thank you! cc @Radek Tomsej

Hi Jakub! Yes you definitely can; we haven’t exposed the ability to edit the name directly in the UI yet (here’s an issue you can comment on to get this back on our radar: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/ui/issues/250), but in the meantime you can use the GraphQL API / Interactive API for this:

mutation{
  set_flow_run_name(input: {flow_run_id: "e475058b-5777-4033-a2b5-36960b6335d4", name: "my-new-name"}) {
    success
  }
}

or use the Python client:

from prefect import Client

client = Client()
client.set_flow_run_name(flow_run_id, flow_run_name)

Perfect, thanks @Chris White !

@Marvin archive “How to update a Flow Run name?”

Hi @Chris White, one more question. in case you mentioned above I need to somehow access flow_run(s) and get flow_run_ids and update it, is it possible to access it somehow from functional API in Python, something like on line 58 below

Yeah i was looking forward this too. All these
