P.S. I do like the color highlighting and live substitution of the workflow parameters into each tool step that uses them. Very slick!
That was the good news. Now the bad news - two bug reports. Firstly if you clear the workflow parameter (leaving it empty), then the caption is used for the highlighted placeholders BUT only the first word is used, e.g. ${Minimum read length (after any clipping)} Initially the the placeholders show "Minimum read length (after any clipping)", and if you enter a value like "30" then "30" is shown. If you then edit the field to become empty, the placeholder now shows just "Minimum". Furthermore, if I leave my workflow parameters empty, and press execute, I get a traceback ending with: AttributeError: 'WorkflowStep' object has no attribute 'module' Since an empty value is valid for some tools for some parameters (e.g. optional text fields) I would have expected any error later - from the tools themselves if they don't like the empty value.
