[Iplant-api-dev] Example/docs for multiple file selection

[Matthew Vaughn]

I’m working on publishing an Agave app that expects multiple filenames passed as the value of a single parameter. In other words, the maxCardinality of this input is > 1.  I have a few related questions:

1. For the input specified below, what does it look like to pass multiple values in at job submission time
2. How do I write in my template script the ability to unpack the multi-file submission and present it as a space-delimited list 
3. Will the Agave files service move all the files specified at job submission time?

==command-line

python3 script.py -miRNAfile FILE1 FILE2 FILE3 

==wrapper

I suspect its more complex that this, which is what I would do if this were a single file input 

python3 script.py ${miRNAfiles}

==input

{
    "id": "miRNAFiles",
    "value": {
        "default": "",
        "type": "string",
        "validator": "",

        "required": true

    }
