Automatically create workflow metadata

Feedback & Ideas
1

Dear KNIMErs,

as I am a super lazy xmas elf, I always try to find ways to do less work :wink:

Right now I am playing quite a bit with the KNIME Business Hub (came as an early xmas present from my employer but I digress :smiley: )

I usually try to provide a “tag”, a “description”, a clear name for the “created by” field and two different links how people can contact me in the resources section of the workflow description.

The description is really the only thing that usually changes aka being individual per workflow.

Everything else is the same.

So I wonder if there is a way to automate the creation of

  • Author
  • Links (2x)
  • Tags

Maybe with some flow variables and something like the Workflow Writer node?

Any feedback would be highly appreciated. You support a great cause by helping me (become the laziest person ever! :rofl: )

Cheers and thank you in advance!
Phil

I agree @kowisoft and lucky you for getting KNIME Business Hub for Christmas :wink:.

Being able to define author as a config parameter on KNIME is something I’d find useful.
For me author will always be the same and yet in KNIME it is always “wrong” by default, because it just uses my osname which is not what I want it set to. This really ought to be something that can be user-defined.

I’ve moved this to feedback and ideas so it can get voted on, and raise its profile with the KNIME team.

(you may wish to vote on it too :wink:)
