Flyte

Hi team,  does anyone know what can be a good default value for type `FlyteFile`

can you make it an optional?  an empty file is probably the best default value but i would still wonder if there’s a better approach

<@UNR3C6Y4T> - 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.

<@UNR3C6Y4T> - Empty file -

shouldn’t this reside someplace or can i create one locally and assign to it?
