I digged some more and I guess I could use the rename dataset option in a

workflow, but I can't find how I can rename a dataset using the original

input name.

I tried to use the same notation as those used in the tools (such as

${input.name}) but that just treats the input.name as a user provided

parameter, which is NOT my intention.

Is there any way I can rename a dataset using information from the orginal

input dataset name? It seems a trivially obvious thing to be able to do, but

I can't figure it out...Hopefully this is just an oversight on my part!

From memory, if the input file parameter is called foo, you can
use ${foo.name}, and there is also something called $on_string
used in an example here:
