in validator, should '*' validate for anything?

[nsheff]

I have a sample file where protocol is '*':

peppy validate paqc.yaml -s http://schema.databio.org/pipelines/pepatac.yaml
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ns5bc/.local/bin/peppy", line 10, in <module>

     'enum': ['ATAC', 'ATAC-SEQ', 'ATAC-seq', 'DNase', 'DNase-seq'],
     'type': 'string'}

On instance['_samples'][0]['protocol']:
    '*'

do you suggest to tweak the validator in peppy? Can this be solved by adding * to enum in the schema?

Actually my thinking was inverted. This doesn't make sense. Nevermind.
