Input parameters pipeline launch

In our Seqera Platform pipelines, we frequently work with input parameters organized by functionality. It would be helpful to have the ability to dynamically reveal or hide certain parameters based on the value of another parameter. This approach would make the interface cleaner and focus only on the parameters relevant to the current pipeline configuration. Could this be achieved by modifying something in the schema?

We work with multi-step bioinformatics pipelines that require conditional inputs — certain parameters only make sense depending on choices made earlier in the form. Without dynamic schemas and conditional field visibility, users are presented with irrelevant options, which increases the chance of misconfiguration. This feature would significantly improve the launch experience for complex workflows.

This is dependent on having a syntax to support this within Nextflow Schema files. I've created an issue to track that first part here: https://github.com/nf-core/tools/issues/3320
