Hi Andrew,

We actually do have a parameter type called drilldown. Just like standard select lists, these can can be generated statically or dynamically. They can be checkboxes or radio buttons and be hierarchical (choosing a higher option explicitly passes the lower options for e.g. command-line building) or not.

One example:
https://usegalaxy.org/tool_runner?tool_id=toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu%2Frepos%2Fdevteam%2Fannotation_profiler%2FAnnotation_Profiler_0%2F1.0.0 on a bed file with dbkey set to hg18, notice the "Choose Tables to use" option:

Here is the Genomespace exporter tool with radio buttons, https://usegalaxy.org/tool_runner?tool_id=genomespace_exporter:


Thanks for using Galaxy,

Dan

Hi all,

I was wondering if there were any existing implementations of, or any plans for, a drill down selection component that supports thousands of items? For example a taxonomy based drill down.

Thanks,
Andrew
