Another dummy question:
• when the flow description is explicitly set
• is there somewhere in the Orion UI to reference that?
• or is it just intended to be helpful when looking at the actual script?

I’d imagined I’d see it somewher in the Flows page - but not seeing it.

Hm. An explicitly set description should be used the same as one pulled from the docstring (and visible in that UI page)

Have you updated a deployment for this flow since adding it?

I’ve not actually gotten to deploys yet. I’m <https://docs.prefect.io/tutorials/flow-task-config/|at this bit> in the tutorials

Ah, running it should update the description.

It actually looks like we’re missing the hook for that, so you’ve found a bug :slightly_smiling_face:

We’ll set the description for deployments but not for flows right now. We can add that pretty easily though.

when I run the script it doesn’t update it. Do you mean if I run via the prefect cli?

I think I saw that done in a video - but don’t remember the syntax off the top of my head.
