Have a problem triggering flow-runs from completed flows _with_ variable parameters passed. I can trigger the flows just fine, but the parameters are not getting passed correctly. Can you share the code syntax to trigger a new flow with parameters using `prefect&lt;2.0` and the functional API?

I will share the pseudo-code and syntax in a reply.

```import prefect
from prefect.tasks.prefect import create_flow_run

def get_update_date():
    return '2022-01-01'

def trigger_flow(**kwargs):
    create_flow_run.run(
        flow_name='flow-2'
        project_name='test',
        parameters={'update_date': kwargs.get('update_date')}
    )

get_update_date = prefect.task(get_update_date)
trigger_flow = prefect.task(trigger_flow)

with prefect.Flow('flow-1') as flow:
    update_date = get_update_date()
    trigger_flow(update_date=update_date)```

Flow 2:

```import prefect

update_date = prefect.Parameter('update_date', default=None)

def print_date(update_date):
   prefect.logger(f'{update_date}')

print_date = prefect.task(print_date)

with prefect.Flow('flow-2') as flow:
    print_date()```

In this case, the flow-2 will print `None` when it is triggered by `flow-1` but if I trigger `flow-2` manually with a hard-coded `update_date` it will print just fine

Tasks need to be called within Flows. <https://discourse.prefect.io/t/how-can-i-create-a-subflow/88|This example> and <https://prefect-community.slack.com/archives/CL09KU1K7/p1661193634531139?thread_ts=1661193390.180679&amp;cid=CL09KU1K7|this thread> and associated resources  might be helpful.
