In Cylc8 is there a way to select and perform an action on multiple tasks/families at once? In Cylc7 GUI you could highlight multiple and trigger them all or reset their state, etc. I can’t figure out how to do this in Cylc8. I’ve tried in the Tree and Table view with no luck. When trying to rerun tasks scattered around the place in a fairly controlled manner, being able to select multiple is very useful, greatly reducing repetitive actions.
Multiple selection in the new UI is planned, but not implemented yet.
In the meantime:
- the Cylc 8 command line has powerful pattern-matching capability for targetting multiple tasks (and even multiple workflows) at once
- in the UI, if you want to (say) trigger multiple tasks at once, you can just click on one of them, choose the editable (“advanced”) command option, and replace the clicked-on task ID with wildcards.
Thanks, just had a look, is this the Issue?
Yes, I think that’s it.
