Hello, I am seeing flows fail if a task with an `any_failed` trigger is not fired because no task failed. Is there any way to fix this? <https://docs.prefect.io/api/latest/triggers.html#functions|docs>

Hi <@U01CBTQNKHN> - would you mind sharing a minimum example of your code? That's a little surprising to me.

code looks like this:
```@task
def task_one:
  #no failure here

@task
def task_two:
  #no failure here

@task(trigger=any_failed)
def set_failure() -&gt; None:
    raise signals.FAIL()


with Flow("flow-name") as flow:
    task_one()
    task_two()

    failure = set_failure(upstream_tasks=[task_one, task_one])```

Ahh ok I see. What a pretty run chart! One sec

In this case you'll want to use `set_reference_tasks` to a list of the tasks that you want to determine the final state of your flow. So you could so something like this:
```@task
def task_one:
  #no failure here

@task
def task_two:
  #no failure here

@task(trigger=any_failed)
def set_failure() -&gt; None:
    raise signals.FAIL()



with Flow("flow-name") as flow:
    task_1 = task_one()
    task_2 = task_two()

    failure = set_failure(upstream_tasks=[task_one, task_one])

flow.set_reference_tasks([task_1, task_2])```
