Shaun, Currently, no, though this is an interesting idea. I've created an enhancement request in bitbucket that you can follow here: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/613/conditional-and-where-... Thanks! -Dannon On Jul 5, 2011, at 12:03 PM, SHAUN WEBB wrote:

Hi,

I am creating a tool that provides the user with different input options based on the format of the input file. I have a conditional statement:

<conditional name="fType"> <param name="file_type" type="select" label="Input File Type"> <option value="1">Type1</option> <option value="2">Type2</option> <option value="3">Type3</option> </param> <when value="1"> etc.....

There is overlap between the options available for each file type and type1 and type 2 have identical options. Is there a way to avoid repetition under each <when> tag?

For instance, I tried <when value="1,2"> but this doesn't work.

I also want to send the file type to the program "--ftype $fType.file_type" so I want the values in each option tag to be unique.

Thanks for any help Shaun
