Q: Is it possible to customize the directories that Metaflow includes when running a flow? We want to add util folders that don't live in the flow directory (common_utils). AFAIK Metaflow includes only folders that are downstream of the current flow. Context: The recommended solution 2 years ago was to add symlinks in each folder, but requires manual one-off setup per folder and is error-prone. https://outerbounds-community.slack.com/archives/C020U025QJK/p1645067250586179?thread_ts=1644857784.908899&cid=C020U025QJK
Copy code
Current: 

flow_type_1
    flow1.py
    flow_specific_utils
    common_utils -> ../common_utils
flow_type_2
    flow2.py
    flow_specific_utils
    common_utils -> ../common_utils
common_utils
     __init__.py
     some_module.py

Desired: 

flow_type_1
    flow1.py
    flow_specific_utils
flow_type_2
    flow2.py
    flow_specific_utils
common_utils # imported in Metaflow
     __init__.py
     some_module.py
