Hi everyone - is there a way to parameterize a shell task?

not sure if this is a "dumb" way but I would just put the result of a
String Template
task as the command. https://docs.prefect.io/api/latest/tasks/strings.html

Ah Thank you! 😞 that's kind of annoying to need to do that for every shell task though.. this works however!

Oh, I think you only need to instantiate the Task one time. After this you just call it with different template/args.

Sorry, @Charles Leung can you explain what you’re looking to accomplish in a little more detail?
