Hello, Resource overrides works if the task foo() is defined in the same workflow file. However, if I move the task foo() to another package (so that it’s shared and re-usable task), with_overrides() like below will not be effective. Do you experience this, and what is the solution?

@task(
    requests=Resources(
        cpu="3",
        mem="3Gi",
    ),
)
def foo():
    ...



@workflow
def my_wf():
    foo().with_overrides(
        requests=Resources(
            cpu="5",
            mem="5Gi",
        ),
    )

seems like a bug. would you mind creating an issue? [flyte-bug]

Hi @tall-lock-23197, Created. https://github.com/flyteorg/flyte/issues/4957 Please escalate this issue. We are trying to use Flyte in production and without this feature, productizing Flyte is NOT possible! Thanks! CC: @glamorous-carpet-83516, @average-finland-92144

@salmon-refrigerator-32115 fixing it now

Hi @glamorous-carpet-83516, @tall-lock-23197, May I know if the fix has been in any Flyte version yet? Thanks!

i don't think so, our team's a little busy at the moment, we'll get back to it. meanwhile, want to know if you've tried using

reference_task

and

with_overrides

?

Hi @tall-lock-23197, I haven’t tried reference_task & with_overrides on that. Why do we need reference_task if I can import a task from another module that I own? The pod that runs the referenced task will be destroyed and will not be available when I reference it. How can this work?

i think it makes sense to use

reference_task

when using tasks available in a different domain or project-domain. else simple module import should suffice. i'm sorry, not sure about the team's availability. @glamorous-carpet-83516 is this an easy fix? @salmon-refrigerator-32115 if you could contribute, that'd be amazing!

I am willing to contribute. However, I am new to Flyte code base. I need help on where and how to make the change. Thanks. @glamorous-carpet-83516, @tall-lock-23197
