Prefect Community

Hi, does anyone knows if there's a way to set a flowrun directly to Cancelled? My worker is already killed and it is stuck in "Cancelling" now. Marvin's answer seems to be hallucinating a UI element lol

i think what its suggesting in the UI basically exists, it got some words wrong

to force it, marvin's suggested use of the SDK is what I'd say

huh, maybe I am on a lower version of prefect?

Actually I see it, but `Change State` only appears on flowrun with a terminal state, for `Cancelling`it does not show up.

hmmm i will take a look, what server version are you on?

I just patched some of my worker's docker image so runners are on 3.4.20, I don't think that would be the issue though
