Specifying multiple potential values for "file_dir"?

[Ellis-Anderson]

I was wondering if it's currently possible to specify multiple values for "file_dir"? I have a script-server set up for scientists to process their experiments. Due to some recent changes there are now two mounted volumes that exist at root that could potentially hold the data they'd like to evaluate. I'd like for them to be able to choose data from either of the volumes but don't want to set "file_dir" to /. Is this possible? Are there other ways to achieve the same result?

Hi Ellis, unfortunately this is not supported. You can create 2 (or more) separate parameters and ask user to select either of those Also, you could use a parameter of type "list" and set its values using "script" option. This script would just concatenate files from both volumes Ellis Anderson <notifications@github.com> schrieb am Di., 23. Feb. 2021, 02:39:

Great, thanks so much for the help! I figured this likely wasn't supported but I wanted to double check!

Hi @Ellis-Anderson, I implemented the exclusion feature (#283)
I understand that this is not very convenient, but probably you could use this as a workaround for now.
I.e. set file_dir to / and exclude all irrelevant folders
