Is there a way to rename a flow already registered with Orion/Cloud? I want to change its name and not lose run history

I had hoped to use this API endpoint, but that seems to be only for updating tags :thinking_face:

Thoughts?

This seems to not be possible at the moment.

<@U01U6R4LETE> did you succeed to add tags to your flow on runtime?
I always have “flow not found”, however I take id with: `prefect.context.get_run_context().flow_run.dict()["id"]`

Hi Aleksandr! I didn't actually want to add tags to my flow; I wanted to rename existing flows. I'll quickly check if I can add tags to a flow _*run*_, at runtime

<@U02MH0Y8R1S> This did the trick for me:

```@task
async def set_flow_run_tags(tags: list[str]):
    task_run_context = prefect.context.get_run_context()
    flow_run_id = task_run_context.task_run.flow_run_id

    async with prefect.client.orion.get_client() as client:
        response = await client.update_flow_run(flow_run_id=flow_run_id, tags=tags)

@flow
def main():
    set_flow_run_tags(["tags", "at", "runtime"])```
You trust it should also work similarly if you want to do it inside the flow itself (i.e. not as a task)

<@U01U6R4LETE> thanks a lot! At least I can add a tag now.
P.S I can rename flow now, your trick is working :unicorn_face:

Note that renames the _flow run_, not really the flow itself.
But I'm happy this is working :tada:
