Description

Looking at the flow associated with the weka random forest, it doesn't look like a flow specifies what tasks it can be applied to:
https://www.openml.org/api/v1/json/flow/65

Is that correct? That means flows can't be re-used automatically, right? (apart from looking at their runs and finding out which tasks they were run on previously... oh that looks like a fun thing to look at).

Research direction

Start by inspecting the flow response at https://www.openml.org/api/v1/json/flow/65 and compare it with the related task and run information. Determine whether task types are represented for flows or only discoverable through previous runs; the work is done when the intended behavior and any needed API change are clearly specified.
