Has anyone run into this? I'm building a general-purpose filter control on my galaxy tool xml template for enabling numeric fields to be filtered by > < etc. parameters - in a user friendly way. I have a select list <para> driven by a data table:... <param name="filter_column" type="select" label="Col">
<options from_data_table="bccdc_blast_fields" />
</param>
...
This works fine in building a list of fields to select from. Then I add
<filter type="sort_by" column="1"/>
<filter type="add_value" name="TESTESTTEST" value="WHWHWHW" />
but nothing happens, sort remains incorrect and no extra value. I try these same filters on a previous <param> in form that is driven by <options from_file="bccdc_blast_bins.loc"> and they work fine.
I also tried applying <fiilter type="static_value" ...> to no avail on from_data_table options tag, but from from_file options, no problem.
So I start to think there's a bug whereby NO filters work on <options from_data_table="bccdc_blast_fields" /> input? I've surveyed the galaxy.tools.parameters.dynamic_options
python code, but can't see a decision point there in which from_data_table work vs from_file choice is made; is it in another script file?
I'm using a BioLinux 2012 install that includes Galaxy.
Help appreciated!
