Hi all! A basic question: I really would like to replace those random suffixes of flows and tasks with more informative names (for example: datetime now or git commit hash). How could I do this? Thanks!

Are you talking about for individual flow runs and task runs?

I don't think you can do that for an individual flow run or task run

You can filter your view by date and order by time, and the datetime is on each of the flows

For a commit hash I would probably use deployments or tags

Here is an example: <https://discourse.prefect.io/t/track-git-commit-for-a-flow-run/1700>

I made a related GitHub feature request issue <https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/issues/7579|here>.
