12/08/2022, 2:17 PMHi Team, I created a custom block with some functionality an registered the block on the UI. I made a few changes to the block and registered this block again but I am still seeing old functionality. So is there a way to delete an existing block from the workspace or to overwrite an existing block.(custom block)

12/08/2022, 2:23 PMThe simplest potential fix is to try saving the block with
overwrite=TrueMike Grabbe
12/08/2022, 2:25 PMThe full line would be:
block.save("my-block-name", overwrite=True)Mike Grabbe

prefect block type delete your-block-type-slug🙌 2

12/23/2022, 7:17 PMis it normal that the overwrite=True parameter does not seem to update block attributes?

12/23/2022, 7:21 PMFYI, if the block was created with an older prefect version, when upgrading to 2.7.4, the changes will not be applied properly when overwriting.
If the block was created with 2.7.4, the overwrite works.

12/23/2022, 7:23 PMI upgraded and deleted the block so it works, but it's the kind of bug than can be bad if it happens again in the future (thinking the overwrite will overwrite the attributes) but it does not. At least with the latest version it works 🙂
