hey all, is there a way to dynamically name flows in v1?

with prefect.Flow(
    name="SOME_DYNAMIC_NAME" # instead of hardcoding this, i want to pass a value when registering / calling it

Hello Jon, to my understanding you want to dynamically generate a name for the flow runs, is that correct? If so, this article has an example which could help with that. You can create a task that creates a

run_name

which is applied when the run is executed.

not quite. not the flow run but the flow itself

Hi @Jon I don't believe there's a well supported way to do this - what are you trying to accomplish by dynamically naming flows?

i think i can solve my issue with dynamically setting labels

Hello @Nate, I need to change the flow name, too. As far as I understand, there is no way to change it, right? I applied the following solution, but it did not work https://discourse.prefect.io/t/set-name-for-flow-run-and-mapped-task-runs/1866/6

Hi @Ismail Cenik - the solution you linked above is for Prefect 2, is that what you're using? The original poster in this thread was asking about prefect v1

Hello, Mine is Prefect 2 as well. So what can we do?

there are multiple ways you can set the flow name, I'm not sure that this is what you're looking for, but I'll show a couple examples in case that's helpful: • simplest way to name a flow

@flow(name="My Flow")
def my_flow():
   pass

• name a flow that is already defined

# using above example
my_new_named_flow = my_flow.with_options(name="My New Named Flow")
# `my_new_named_flow` can now be called just like any other flow

is there a different way in which you're trying to name a flow?

That works for me. Thank you.
