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: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Tools/Tool%20Config%20Syntax
