Hello, I have a custom UI basically representing a flyte DAG. I create and execute workflows programatically. Then I pull on execution statuses and update my custom GUI accordingly. This appears to be working. But I would like to tag the tasks per execution with custom ids which would hopefully become available when retrieving execution statues. The reason I want this is because updating my GUI will be much easier if I can just match custom ids. Is there any way to add arbitrary data to an instance of a workflow node? Thanks! THIS IS ESSENTIALLY WHAT I HAVE (sudo code):

flyte_task_a = self.client.fetch_task(name=task_name)
flyte_task_b = self.client.fetch_task(name=task_name)
flyte_task_c = self.client.fetch_task(name=task_name)

workflow = Workflow(name=workflow_name)
workflow.add_entity(flyte_task_a)
workflow.add_entity(flyte_task_b)
workflow.add_entity(flyte_task_c)

THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO:

flyte_task_a = self.client.fetch_task(name=task_name)
flyte_task_b = self.client.fetch_task(name=task_name)
flyte_task_c = self.client.fetch_task(name=task_name)

flyte_task_a.add_arbitraty_data(custom_uuid)
flyte_task_b.add_arbitraty_data(custom_uuid)
flyte_task_c.add_arbitraty_data(custom_uuid)

workflow = Workflow(name=workflow_name)
workflow.add_entity(flyte_task_a)
workflow.add_entity(flyte_task_b)
workflow.add_entity(flyte_task_c)

Isn't an execution ID sufficient for your use-case?

Oh, interesting I'll look into this. From what I've seen the execution tag is associated with a workflow. Which is good, but I would like to be able to tag the nodes of a workflow instance. Lets say I have a 5 node workflow. 2/5 nodes use the same task. So the name will be the same for those 2 nodes. I'm trying to figure out how to robustly map the statues to the nodes. If I could tag the nodes with a custom id at the point of execution, It would be very easy to map the node "phases" to the GUI.

I don't think that's possible. You should, however, be able to use the execution ID to fetch the execution first, followed by the node in the execution.

Ok, thanks very much, I'll work with that
