Rendering of multi-selection list
Hi everyone, I'm using the following xml syntax to populate a multi-selection list in our Galaxy Server: <param name="genes" type="select" label="Some list" multiple="true"> <options from_file="some_list.txt"> <column name="value" index="0" /> <column name="name" index="0" /> </options> </param> Depending on the number of entries in the file some_list.txt the list is rendered differently: * with less than 20 entries I get a list displaying all items * with more than 20 entries the list is rendered as a drop-down list * with a lot more (I don't know the exact cutoff, but like 1000+) I get the same rendering as with less than 20 entries I would like galaxy to render the list as a drop-down list independent of the number of entries. Is there a way to do this? Regards, Michael -- Michael Römer, MSc. Bioinf.

There is a patch in this e-mail thread to disable this behavior for all tools: http://dev.list.galaxyproject.org/HTML-form-of-select-parameter-tt4663142.ht... Hope this helps, -John On Mon, Feb 24, 2014 at 9:20 AM, Michael Römer <michael.roemer@uni-tuebingen.de> wrote:

Hi John, Thanks, this does indeed change the behaviour to be consistent. However, this is exactly the reverse of what I would like to do. I would actually like to replace all select boxes by the jQuery-based widget. Particularly for large lists I find the select2 to be much more user-friendly. Is there a way to achieve this?
