[galaxy-dev] Setting min/max limit on repeat tag in tool XML file
Hi all, I'm working on a tool where the repeat tag looks like an elegant solution - however I want to limit the number of repeats to be 1, 2 or 3. i.e. I want to set min=1 and max=3 attributes for the repeat, based on analogy to the param tag. Is this possible, but not documented here? https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/ToolConfigSyntax In terms of the GUI, I'd like the page to preload with as many entries as the min setting (zero by default), and disable the add button once the max setting is reach (default no limit). (Alternatively you could validate the max/min when the form is submitted by clicking the execute button, but that seems less user friendly.) If this isn't already possible, would it be generally useful to add this? Thanks, Peter ___ Please keep all replies on the list by using reply all in your mail client.

Hi Peter, Yes, setting min and max values in the repeat tag should work as you need. As you point out, it is probably not well documented, so please let us know if it isn't working as you imagine it should.

Thanks for using Galaxy, Dan Hi Dan, Excellent - that does pretty much what I was expecting. Thanks for updating the wiki page. It would be a nice refinement to hide the Remove buttons when at the minimum, and hide the Add button when at the maximum - but not essential. What I need to work out now is how to use repeat parameters in the unit tests. There seems to be examples in tools/mutation/visualize.xml and tools/plotting/xy_plot.xml which only use the first repeat... Also, can I access the repeat number for default values - e.g. I'd like to have a caption parameter defaulting to Set 1, Set 2 etc. Thanks, Peter ___ Please keep all replies on the list by using reply all in your mail client.
