Hey All,   Im wondering the best way to make a flow force a failure.  For instance, if you have a task that fails, and a task that runs a trigger for "any failed" toward the end of your flow... the flow succeeds if the "onfailure" task succeeds.  However I want the OnFailure task to do what it needs to .. then make the entire flow fail.

Hi <@U01705ZT90B>, so the question is how to force failure on the Flow level right?

Look at the code example <https://docs.prefect.io/core/concepts/execution.html#triggers|here> . I think you want `flow.set_reference_task` and then you can make the task before the OnFailure task the reference task so the Flow level success will depend on that

Oh.. Thats amazing.. I read that like 4 times.. but it never registered!
