Hi,
is it possible to change the serializer for the flow parameters from Pydantic to PickleSerializer?

hi <@U080KJWKJ0M> - can you explain what issue you're having? I'm not sure what you mean by "serializer for the flow parameters"

When I want to pass a pandas DataFrame to a flow I'm getting the following error: `PydanticSerializationError: Unable to serialize unknown type: &lt;class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'&gt;`

<@U02GMEZU18B> what I need to add to this: This happens when I use `run_deployment()` and want to pass a `pandas.DataFrame` to the flow. When I try to pass a DataFrame to a subflow I have no Issues. So this probably has something to do with `DeploymentFlowRunCreate()` and the way it stores the parameters compared to `FlowRunCreate()`
