When will paused states be supported in Prefect 2.0? Currently this first class functionality is missing, which impacts our ability to migrate from 1.0

Hi Matthew. Are you asking about pausing deployments in the GUI and from the CLI? If so, both of those are now possible. Prefect 2.4 added the CLI capabilities - it’s discussed in this blog post and the video l made that’s linked at the bottom of the post.

Hi Jeff, thanks for your help. This is not about pausing deployments as I understand it. In Prefect 1.0, tasks could enter a paused state by raising a paused signal. Neither signals nor paused states exist in Prefect 2.0, so when will Prefect tasks support entering a paused state that can be manually approved from the UI?

Hi Matthew. I’m not sure. But if that’s a feature you’d like to see, it would be great if you could open an issue over at the GitHub repo with information about your use case. 🙂

Thanks Jeff. @Anna Geller stated in her discourse post (https://meta.discourse.org/t/improvements-for-posts-awaiting-approval/51001) that this is going to be a first class feature, but I’m wondering when it’s estimated to be delivered, especially since this was something we had in Prefect 1.0.

Something went wrong, this is not our Discourse and that's not me there 😄

Whoops sorry @Anna Geller here’s the link https://discourse.prefect.io/t/implementing-waiting-for-approval-in-prefect-2/1558

Thanks for the link. We have no ETA on that as of today so I'd encourage you to implement the workaround from the Discourse topic for now
