Also, the IDs as an entry in the Configuration will not be clickable in the web interface, right?

No, but on the other hand, it will be editable if you clone the Task.
Which brings me to a different scenario,
In the original one, the Main Task created the Dataset, i.e. Output Dataset (and stored it both ways).
I could think of a situation the Task is using the Dataset as input (say preprocessing or traing), then we might want to enable users to clone and change the Input dataset. wdyt?

Nice!
I can't really think of a reason why not to do it automatically, at least for my usecase. What name would you give the dataset(s) in the Configuration? Also, the IDs as an entry in the Configuration will not be clickable in the web interface, right?

Regrading the first direction, this was just pushed 🙂

Regrading the opposite direction:
That is a good question, I really like the idea of just adding another section named Datasets
SucculentBeetle7 should we do that automatically?

This also helped me 🙂 Really, I'd like it both ways, such that the Task links to the Dataset it created, as well as the Dataset to the Task it was created by.
Right now I'm doing
dataset = Dataset.create(...) task.connect({'dataset_id': dataset.id}, name='Datasets')for the second direction. Is there a better way to do this? (I'm using it to pass Datasets between Tasks, one Task operating on a Dataset that was created by another Task.) Thank you!

👍

id works, thanks 👍

Seems like passing the Task object is not working as expected (I'll make sure it is fixed).
Try:
dataset._task.set_parent(Task.current_task().id)

Doesn’t set the parent though 🤔

Will try set_parent, it wasn't in the docs and wasn't sure

Yeah that would be good

Maybe we should do that automatically ? wdyt?

So you want to have two Tasks and connect the two ?
Maybe the best approach is to have th current_task. the parent of the Dataset Task ?
dataset._task.set_parent(Task.current_task())

But it seems to make the current task the data processing task. I don't want it to take over the task.

I'm sorry my bad, this is use_current_task
https://github.com/allegroai/clearml/blob/6d09ff15187197e1f574902352115aa08dc1c28a/clearml/datasets/dataset.py#L663
task = Task.init(...) dataset = Dataset.create(..., use_current_task=True) dataset.add_files(...)

But I don’t see a task option in Dataset.create

https://github.com/allegroai/clearml/blob/master/clearml/datasets/dataset.py#L657-L663

Basically you create the Task and make sure the "Dataset" is attached to it:
task = Task.init(...) dataset = Dataset.create(task=task) dataset.add_files(...)This will make sure the code is attached to the Dataset

Initially thought use_current_task in Dataset.create does it, but that seems to set the DataprocessingTask itself to the current task
