Github-Action : Set Job environment only when condition true

Question

Is it possible to set the "environment" of a job only if a defined condition is true ? So for example only if it was passed as INPUT ?

jobs:
  test_workflow:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    environment: EXAMPLE <-- This one
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

My use case: Im using a reusable_workflow and i only want to add the environment if it was passed to the workflow. environment does not accept null/false but only string or object.

Would it work to set the default of the input to an empty string and to "example" in the other call ? What is the consequence of setting it to an empty string ?

SOLUTION:

It is possible to set the ENVIRONMENT to an empty string and it will be treated like its not set. So i defined my INPUT with the empty string default and only pass a value if needed!.

      ENVIRONMENT:
        type: string
        default: ""
