Enum inputs?

[Tim Chan]

I'd like a GenePattern module user to give my module one of the following input options:

• "intron"
• "exon"
• "CDS"

Anything else will be an error. Is there a way for me to make the input rendered as an enum instead of a plain text-field that a user will be able to enter anything?

Hello,

Yes! You can provide a drop-down list that allows users to choose from valid options only.

The [?] next to this option provides more detail. (https://cloud.genepattern.org/gp/modules/createhelp.jsp#paramType)

Please let us know if you need any further help.

Best,

Barbara

PS - when you are done with your module - we'd love to hear about it!

Thanks. All good!
