How do I access the `result` of a given task in a flow? I see that `flow.run().result` is a `dict` keyed by `Task`s but `flow.run().result[prefect.Task('task_name')]` gives a `KeyError`. I can’t find the answer in the documentation or the api reference for `State`.

Jake, access the `result` attribute by the task itself: `flow.run().result[your_task].result`

`flow.run()` returns a `State` for the flow, and that state has a result dict. Each value of the result dict is the final `State`  of the corresponding task key, and each of those states has its own stored result

I had a similar question but we have been using this for a while. <@UKTUC906M> does this seem correct?
```# Run the flow
state = flow.run(executor=executor)

# Get resulting path
save_path = state.result[flow.get_tasks(name="_get_save_path")[0]].result```

:+1: absolutely — and to apply to <@URG3ZTNH0>’s situation, if you don’t have the task object handy then `flow.get_tasks(name=X)[0]` will return it for you
