The input dataset steps do not use workflow parameters as they don't actually create output datasets, but rather act as more of a temporary handle. Remove the parameter tags from the input steps and just referring to those same parameter names in the subsequent steps you wanted to use them with should work and I think will allow you to do what you want.

Thank you for pointing out the error though, this should definitely be more gracefully handled and supported with some help text in the editor, I'll see what I can do about that. Let me know if this doesn't get up and running and I'll do what I can to help!

I'd like to do the same thing that Tanguy described. I'm trying to figure
out the syntax to this within the workflow editor, but can't quite get it
right. In your example Dannon, would you just set ${dataset_name} as the
"Name" for your "Input dataset" to capture the input dataset name as a
variable? When I do that and then try to run the workflow I get the
following error:

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious?

Thanks,
