Hi all - I'm constructing a wrapper for a tool I have and the input to the tool can be:

1) a single fastq file (single end sample)

2) multiple singled-end fastq files

3) a single paired-end sample

4) multiple paired-end samples.

I have cases #1 and #2 handled, however case #3 is presenting a problem. If the user select "Paired-End" sample, I want to restrict them to selecting only a single fastq1 and fastq2 file.

If they want to submit multiple paired-end samples I only want to allow them to submit them as a list of dataset pairs. I can get this part to work.

I just need to restrict users to selecting only a single fastq1 and fastq2 file when the input_type is Paired-End.

My XML is as follows. Any help would be appreciated
