11/05/2025, 2:34 PMHello! Is there a way to set a parameter to true, if another is set to true? I want to enable a process when param.intersect = true, but this requires that also params.norm = true. Now I could make the users do this and just specify both, but I was wondering if there is a way in nf-schema

11/05/2025, 4:40 PMok then for now I'll throw some warning and set the param.B in the pipeline.
I am still unsure what the most user friendly path would be. I think I would prefer setting it more visibly in platform and have it tracked in the final resolved config. On the other hand it's still tracable in the logs that this process was run as well....
