ISAvalidator: issue with multiple terms of controlled vocab

[althonos]

Hi there,
when I tried to add controlled vocabularies to the parameters of protocols in my Investigation file, the validator gave me the following error: Problem while mapping the class 'Protocol': 3 though I think I did it the right way, so it might be an issue with the validator...

Here's my i_Investigation.txt:
i_Investigation.txt

and the relevant section:

Hi @althonos
Could you provide all the ISA-Tab files for us to test?
Also, if you are after validating them, you may also have a look at the python-based ISA-API, which includes a new validator.
Thanks.

Hi @agbeltran , I'll give a try to python isatools. thanks !

The following contains all my ISA-Tab files ( MTBLS267.zip ) and after a test, it looks like removing the controlled values references makes the validation successful again.
