Question

Hey team so we have our custom UI that uses the REST API to trigger workflows in the Flyte backend Now every time we bump the version of the workflows the REST APIs invoked by the UI need to change as well to use the latest version Is there a latest tag or something like that that can be used to alleviate this problem

Aleksei Potov · Answer

I m currently doing `list workflows` to pick up the latest version by created at and then `create execution` with that version but I feel like there should be a way to pass a magic version tag in the spec to do this automatically on the backend
