@Marvin On the Prefect UI, when I select a deployment and go to Custom Run, I want my parameters to have a description in the entry box. How can I do this?
m
It seems that the Prefect documentation does not explicitly detail how to add descriptions to parameters in the "Custom Run" UI. However, typically in Prefect, parameters are defined in your flow code, and any additional metadata (like descriptions) could be managed through documentation or annotations in your code, but not directly reflected in the UI. For now, you might consider adding detailed comments in your code to clarify parameter usage. If you want this feature to be more integrated into the UI, you could check Prefect's GitHub issues or request this feature from the Prefect team. Here are some links that might be helpful: - Prefect Variables Documentation - Prefect GitHub Repository If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

@Marvin Can I make the description of the deployment visible when I select Custom Run?
m
The Prefect documentation does not explicitly mention a feature that allows you to make the deployment description visible in the "Custom Run" section of the UI. Typically, deployment descriptions are defined in the deployment configuration (such as in the
prefect.yaml
file) but are not automatically displayed in the UI during a custom run. For now, you might consider including detailed descriptions in your deployment configuration files or documentation. If displaying these descriptions in the UI is essential, you might want to check for any existing feature requests or submit a new one on the Prefect GitHub repository. For further customization options, you can refer to the Prefect Deployment Documentation. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
