title: How to manually run an Airflow task if it has never ran before
body: <p>I've ran into this issue several times, and I can't find a solution. I have a DAG in Airflow that runs every day, which works great. Sometimes I add new tasks to this DAG, which are then included during the next scheduled DAG run, which is also great.</p>
  <p>Sometimes, however, I want to run the new task right away because I want to use the result right away. This only seems possible by running the entire DAG, which I don't want to do. If a task has already ran, you can click on it, clear it's status, run it manually, and do all kinds of stuff. However, if it's a new task that has never ran before, you can do none of these things, because it shows a &quot;stop&quot; sign when hovering it (and it says &quot;DAG has yet to run&quot;), and you can't click on it. Some of this makes sense (you can't reset a status because it hasn't ran, so it doesn't have a status). However, I still want to be able to run it manually, like I can do with existing tasks. It feels like this should be possible, but I can't figure out how.</p>
