Is there a way to have a flow automatically restart from the beginning of the flow if one of the tasks fail, instead of starting from the failed task?

Hey there <@USDS0AJ5P>,
Could you tell us about your use case a bit? I believe I can provide some insight, but I am curious to your implementation.

More generally, retries are kickstarted at the task level and not at the flow level currently. I think there’s some potential for a flow run configurations however, I would love to know how you’d utilize a flow rerun or what API configurations would be the most useful for you. :thinking_face:

I also find this interesting. I posted a question about restarting a upstream tasks upon retry or a given task. More background in this thread. <https://prefect-community.slack.com/archives/CL09KU1K7/p1589596469064300>

Thanks <@U012CK03GBA>, always nice to gather these use cases together. It’s a real challenge to determine feature commonalities when implementing a new API and ensure it  supports users holistically. :+1:
