Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to prevent auto-selecting an option for Running a workflow? Quiet often users (especially novices) would re-run workflows without checking much the data that goes in thinking it will be the same as before. But because the options in drop down menus are auto-populated it seems the top option is always selected by default. For example, previously we had a single fasta file as reference and in the process of a workflow few other fasta files get generated. they appear above the previous fasta in the selection, so without paying attention people skip the input without really checking it.
This behavior would be a bug - workflow parameters should be preserved. What release are you on - we fixed a bug related to this after the initial August release ( https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/commits/5abd9fc76f7ad2eca013a1f8...) that should be available in the latest august stable tag. Is it possible you were on the August release but don't have this fix? If it is a bug and is still present in the latest stable branch if you could provide steps to reproduce it in a clean clone of Galaxy it could go a long way toward helping us track down a fix. -John
Can we manually add a "blank" selection at the top to force users to select something?
