Prefect Community

Hi!
I'm using Prefect on K8s clusters and I would need to track costs per projects and namespace.
To achieve this, my plan was to add labels to the jobs. Before initializing `KubernetesRun` objects, I tried to modify the `metadata.labels`field, but apparently it gets overwritten by Prefect Cloud. I've also tried to modify `annotations` but that also didn't appear when checking `kubectl describe pod`.
Is there a workaround or a different approach that comes to your mind?

Hi Oliver, how are you modifying the `metadata.labels` and `annotations` in the kubernetes job template? Are you utilizing <https://discourse.prefect.io/t/how-to-customize-kubernetes-jobs-with-kubernetesflowrunners-customizations/1147|customizations>?

We have another helpful tutorial for customizing job templates <https://discourse.prefect.io/t/creating-and-deploying-a-custom-kubernetes-infrastructure-block/1531|here> as well.

Ah, sorry, forgot to mention that I'm using Prefect 1.0. <@U03FYEHGY57>

Yes, I'm modifying the job template that I pass down to the `KubernetesRun` as dict

Thanks for the help, I found the issue: I've added the labels to metadata.labels and not to spec.template.metadata.labels.
