KubernetesSecret question: currently it seems that it's designed such that `KubernetesSecret` should not rely on any upstream task/parameters. However, I think it might not be a great assumption. I'm using an `env` parameter that denotes `"DEV"` or `"PROD"` and then would decide what secret I want to retrieve from k8s later (usually a database secret). Any plan to allow `KubernetesSecret` to be a dynamic task and interpreted naturally in the flow without having to manually use `flow.set_dependencies`?

Ah it seems setting the dependencies isn't enough. Would appreciate a suggestion!

We are using it in the same use case that you have? Can you share your code?

It's something like this
```    env = Parameter("env", default="DEV")
    dt = Parameter("dt", default=date.today().strftime("%Y-%m-%d"))
    use_proxy = Parameter("use_proxy", default=False)

    env_config = config(env)
    db = env_config["db"]
    db_password = KubernetesSecret(db, "password", kubernetes_api_key_secret=None)
    db_user = KubernetesSecret(db, "username", kubernetes_api_key_secret=None)
    db_host = KubernetesSecret(db, "host", kubernetes_api_key_secret=None)```
where
```@task
def config(env: str) -&gt; Dict[str, Any]:
    ...```

You need to create an instance of kubernetessecret first and use that instance to pass the parameters

Will do a sample when I'm on a computer of you cannot make it work

The way you are using it is at flow built time that it is setup not at run time

```    env = Parameter("env", default="DEV")
    dt = Parameter("dt", default=date.today().strftime("%Y-%m-%d"))
    use_proxy = Parameter("use_proxy", default=False)
    env_config = config(env)
    db = env_config["db"]
    K8sSecret = KubernetesSecret(kubernetes_api_key_secret=None)
    db_password = K8sSecret(secret_name=db, secret_key="password")
    db_user = K8sSecret(secret_name=db, secret_key="username")
    db_host = K8sSecret(secret_name=db, secret_key="host")```

that works like a charm. thanks a lot! <@U012J275170>

Welcome. Good continuation on your exploration
