How to call either one reusable workflow from caller workflow by using workflow_dispatch and passing parameter with filename

Question

I have created two reusable workflow in abc repo javaci.yml databaseci.yml

I can trigger reusable workflow from caller workflow simultaneously but I need to choose any one or both yml file to trigger by using parameter

below are the my caller workflow

name: caller workflow

on: workflow_dispatch:

jobs:

trigger_javaci: 
   uses: abc/github-actions-shared-workflow/.github/workflows/javaci.yml@main
   
   secrets:
     Workflow2_PAT_TOKEN_GITHUB: ${{ secrets.Workflow2_PAT_TOKEN_GITHUB }}

trigger_databaseci: 
   uses: abc/github-actions-shared-workflow/.github/workflows/databaseci.yml@main


   secrets:
     Workflow2_PAT_TOKEN_GITHUB: ${{ secrets.Workflow2_PAT_TOKEN_GITHUB }}

While running Caller workflow, am getting both reusable workflow, but i want particularly any one called workflow to trigger by using parameter values.

So kindly help on this...

Thank you

Finally I found the solution to call either one or both reusable workflow from caller workflow

name: multiple-reusable-caller workflow

on:
 workflow_dispatch:
   inputs: 
     javaci: 
        type: boolean
        description: 'deploy javaci'
        required: true
     databaseci: 
        type: boolean
        description: 'deploy databaseci'
        required: true        
 
jobs:

    deploy_javaci: 
       if: ${{github.event.inputs.javaci == 'true'}}
       uses: abc/reusable-workflow-ci/.github/workflows/javaci.yml@main
       
       secrets:
         Workflow2_PAT_TOKEN_GITHUB: ${{ secrets.Workflow2_PAT_TOKEN_GITHUB }}

    deploy_databaseci: 
       if: ${{github.event.inputs.databaseci == 'true'}}
       uses: abc/reusable-workflow-ci/.github/workflows/databaseci.yml@main
       
       secrets:
         Workflow2_PAT_TOKEN_GITHUB: ${{ secrets.Workflow2_PAT_TOKEN_GITHUB }}
