While this is not currently possible, we have recently discussed exposing extra fields for use in both parameters and rename actions. If you're interested, I've created a bitbucket enhancement request (https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/623/expose-more-fields-to-...) that you can follow to track the progress of this feature. Thanks for the suggestion! -Dannon On Jul 29, 2011, at 1:35 PM, Belinda M. Giardine wrote:

Is it possible when renaming a dataset in a workflow to have it fill in the dataset number like the default labels?

For example the default label may be "Filter on data 17". What if I want it to be "High coverage on data 17"? Could I put some special variable in the text to tell Galaxy to fill in the data number? If it isn't possible please consider this as a feature request.

Thanks, Belinda
