Hi,

There is a 'set_metadata_externally' setting in universe_wsgi.ini file. What is involved in this step? Is it run for every dataset/output being generated in the galaxy?

Hi Shantanu,

Metadata is always detected/set on all job outputs. This setting simply controls whether the metadata setting occurs within the Galaxy server process or in a new process. It's highly recommended to always set this = True, and it will probably become the default in the future.

Thanks Nate. So is this something in the core galaxy code and independent of tool wrappers?
