< Yee> We are upgrading some old code in our database In old flytekit version really old If `None` was passed as an input our code would generate the default files for those options But the current version of Flytekit does not accept `None` as a parameter So I am looking for a default value for an input of type `FlyteFile` which could indicate that no value was passed I ve tried `None` and empty string ` ` but Flyte does not accept both of there
