I  am hoping to have a task be blocked by an upstream task whose execution depends on a parameter, and that does not necessarily provide any input to the downstream task. With my current flow structure  the downstream task is only executed when my parameter is set to `false` . How can i get it to execute in both cases where the parameter is `true` or `false`? Sample code in thread

Here is some sample code
```with Flow(name="Example Flow") as example_flow:
    boolean_parameter = Parameter("strict_transfer", True)

    with case(boolean_parameter, True):
        my_task_function = some_function(some_option=True)

    with case(boolean_parameter, False):
        my_task_function = some_function(some_option=False)

    some_other_task_function(upstream_tasks=[my_task_function])```

Notably, i do not need to store any output from `some_function()`, but my understanding was that I need to assign it to a variable to feed it to the `upstream_tasks` parameter

Maybe use a trigger with `always_run` ? <https://docs.prefect.io/api/latest/triggers.html|Docs>

I think the trigger will help. I tried your code and it looks like `some_other_task_function` gets a SKIPPED state, so you can also do `skip_on_upstream_skip=False` in the `@task` definition
