Prefect Community

What is the purpose in Prefect v2 of the `context` key for the payload in <https://orion-docs.prefect.io/api-ref/rest-api/#/Deployments/create_flow_run_from_deployment_deployments__id__create_flow_run_post>? Specifically interested in use cases for configuring this.

It’s unused right now — I would not recommend using it.

<@U01CEUST9B5> is there a plan to implement this to define custom values in context via the API?

I believe that was the intent (similar to v1) but we do not have plans to do so right now. I believe this has been around since we started the v2 project and hasn’t been used. We may remove it or find a purpose for it :shrug:
