I just tried and everything works.

I run this for the template task:

` from clearml import Task

task = Task.init(project_name="Examples", task_name="task with connected dict")

period = {"start": "2020-01-01 00:00", "end": "2020-12-31 23:00"}

task.connect(period, name="period") `

and this for the clone one:

` from clearml import Task

template_task = Task.get_task(task_id="<Your template task id>")
cloned_task = Task.clone(source_task=template_task,
name=template_task.name+' for params', parent=template_task.id)
cloned_task_parameters = cloned_task.get_parameters()

override with random samples form grid

for k in cloned_task_parameters.keys():
cloned_task_parameters[k] = "2020-01-01 00:56"

put back into the new cloned task

cloned_task.set_parameters(cloned_task_parameters) `
