Mike Grabbe · Answer

The simplest potential fix is to try saving the block with `overwrite=True`

Mike Grabbe · Answer

The full line would be `block save my block name overwrite=True `

Mike Grabbe · Answer

you could also delete the block before creating it anew You could do this in the cli like this `prefect block type delete your block type slug`

is it normal that the overwrite=True parameter does not seem to update block attributes

Jean-Michel Provencher · Answer

FYI 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

What kind of block are you working with

Jean-Michel Provencher · Answer

custom block

Jean-Michel Provencher · Answer

I 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 slightly smiling face
