Edit Message of Restart Button for More Clarity

[marvin-robot]

Opened from the Prefect Public Slack Community

thomasopsomer.enpc: Hello community 🙂
We experienced a strange behaviour of the "restart" button on prefect cloud:
When going to a task run and restarting the task, it correctly reschedules the task, but it doesn't reschedule the downstream tasks (in the UI they stay green instead of light blue)

kevin701: Only Failed tasks are re-scheduled with the restart button. We know there are cases where you want to re-run upstream/downstream so for Orion (Prefect 2.0) this will be supported first-class with subflows being logical units that you can restart together

thomasopsomer.enpc: Ah ok. So the fact that it used to work was just luck ? 🙂
Then maybe you should update the message in the UI when clicking the restart button to specify that only the failed/not_successful downstream dependents will be re-run

kevin701: Ah ok we can add a ticket in the UI repo for that

kevin701: Do you know what current one was?

thomasopsomer.enpc: yep:
> Click on confirm to restart the flow run flow_run_name from this task run. This will restart your flow run and re-run task task_name and its downstream dependents.

kevin701: Thank you!
