Sorry, I tried to edit that, to make it simpler, but missed the <param> block. The 'name' does match the one in the 'command' on my end (list_of_items_in_history).

Hi all,

I'm having the same problem. I have a script that tries to take several history data sets as a single input:

<command interpreter="perl">aggregate.pl --out $outfile $list_of_items_in_history</command>

  <inputs>

    <param format="txt" name="fitness_tables" type="data" multiple="true" label="Fitness score table, per site"/>
  </inputs>

  <outputs>

    <data format="tabular" name="outfile" />
  </outputs>

If I select only one history item it works, but if I press 'ctrl' to select multiple items, it fails:

Is using multiple history items as a single input not currently supported, or is there something else I'm doing wrong?

Cheers,

Kip

Hi again,

Sorry to ping again about this, just very interested in knowing if
this is a missing feature in Galaxy or if I had configured something
wrong.

Is it possible in Galaxy to have a tool with a multiple="true" input
dataset parameter?  It doesn't seem so?

best,
Leandro
