07/21/2023, 7:21 PM👋 hi folks…If you are using AWS Step functions…are you able to have a parameter be filled in by default from an environment variable? I assume that environment variable will need to be present in the first step of your flow otherwise it won’t be able to find it. Is that correct?

Copy code
class ExampleFlow(FlowSpec):
param = Parameter("param", type=str, required=False, default=os.getenv("MY_ENV_VAR"))f
