12/05/2025, 7:41 PMmap_task, use functools.partial to bind the static argument before mapping. For example, if your task takes multiple arguments but you want to map over only one, partially apply the static arguments and map over the dynamic one. This is the recommended approach since map_task only supports mapping over a single input; all other arguments must be fixed via partial binding. See the example below:
from functools import partial
from flytekit import task, workflow, map_task
@task
def my_task(x: int, y: str) -> str:
return f"{x}-{y}"
@workflow
def wf(xs: list[int], y: str) -> list[str]:
partial_task = partial(my_task, y=y)
return map_task(partial_task)(x=xs)
According to the Flyte documentation, this is the standard way to pass static arguments to a mapped task. Note: you cannot provide a list as a static input to a partial task.
