Dumb question:
• So I’m ramping up through the tutorials. I’m running flows/tasks and monitoring via the Orion UI.
• I’m looking at the Task Inputs and anticipated to see a True/False for the date_only param
• But only see an empty list (see images of code below)
What am I missing config wise so that this can be tracked. Feel it would be super useful to be able to go back and see what was passed in via the logs in case of issues/etc.

Hi! We’re only tracking task / task relationships right now not the actual data passed through. We may add that in the future, but it’s historically controversial / complicated for us to store the data you are passing between tasks.

Ah - I feel you. Guess I just thought it’d be the same as flow parameters. So the distinction is that tasks may have more sensitive params being passed in?

Since you can trigger flows from the API/UI you’ll often provide us with JSON compatible parameters directly.
Tasks can’t be triggered in this way, so we have looser expectations about their parameters. We have some scaffolding to track actual values, but I don’t think we’ll do so in the near future.

Ok - thanks for the context @Zanie 💪🏽
I guess for now if the param comes from a static script - we can reference the script … or add some log for it?
