I would introduce 2 new configurables

  • The first one you have, i.e. making TOF a minimal (true) or optional (false) selection
  • The second configurable should be called like "keepTracksWithoutTof", such that daughters without TOF can be kept

Here the flag should be set according to "requireTof" from the configuration

same as above

here you should then check against the flag whether to keep tracks without Tof or not
Also, the limit to check against should be 0 (since it is a AbsUpperCut, so the only value which should alwasy succeed is 0. Using max value would always fail)

Hi @allesgrau ,
many thanks for the PR. I think the PR still needs some work. I commented here only the cascade builder, but the same comments apply also for the V0 builder.

Please consider the following formatting changes to AliceO2Group#17315
