Hi! I’ve searched in the docs but couldn’t find an answer so I’m asking here, is there a way to run a task even if a previous task fails? Here’s an example:
```@flow
async def test():
    connected = await connect_db.submit()

    task1 = await db_stuff.submit(wait_for=[connected])
    await disconnect_db.submit(wait_for=[task1])```
If `db_stuff` fails, `disconnect_db` never is executed but I’d like it to do it

Hi Marcos, this <https://discourse.prefect.io/t/how-can-i-trigger-downstream-tasks-based-on-upstream-task-s-state/106|discourse article> might be useful. There is an example which shows a task running regardless of the upstream task's state.
