PowerShell Parameters default values

Question

I have a basic function:

Function Write-AdvancedLog{
    [CmdletBinding()]
    Param(
        $WriteToEtl,
        $Message,
        $CurrentFunction
    )
}

Essentially I want to specify a parameter -WriteToEtl without specifying a value. If the parameter is added to the Function call (Write-AdvancedLog -WriteToEtl) it will do a certain thing, if the switch isn't specified, it won't.

How can I achieve this?

[switch]$WriteToEtl

There's a switch data-type just for that. You can specify this using [switch]$WriteToEtl
