Hi,

Looking at the example on the Tool Config Syntax wiki page:

Example

Assume that the tool includes an input parameter named "database" which is a select list ( e.g., assume the following inputs ):

Toggle line numbers

   1 <inputs>

   2     <param format="tabular" name="input" type="data" label="Input stuff"/>

   3     <param type="select" name="database" label="Database">

   4         <option value="alignseq.loc">Human (hg18)</option>

   5         <option value="faseq.loc">Fly (dm3)</option>

   6     </param>

   7 </inputs>

Assume that the user selects the first option in the $database select list. Then the following will ensure that the tool produces a tabular data set whose associated history item has the label "Blat on Human (hg18)".

Toggle line numbers

   1 <outputs>

   2     <data format="input" name="output" label="Blat on ${database.value_label}" />

   3 </outputs>

It shows that .value_label attribute should produce the string in between the <option> tags, not the actual value.

Why does this not work? When I use it it produces the value, or am I doing something wrong?

regards,
