Additional Information

Starting in Tableau Server version 2022.1, each new flow schedule on Tableau Server is configured for using Linked Tasks by default.
For those existing flow schedules created in prior versions, if you have not enabled linked tasks function for them, then you need to configure each of them to enable linked tasks function manually.
For more details, please refer to Create Schedules for Flow Tasks.
