Synopsis and Description in Terra Workflow
Is there an automated way to populate the synopsis and description fields of a Terra workflow (using comments or other sections in the WDL)? I seem to remember that something like this was possible in FireCloud.

Hi D. R. Mani,
Are you trying to create/upload a WDL to some place in particular? The Methods Repository still exists in FireCloud. I believe this is what you were referring to? https://portal.firecloud.org/#methods
Kind regards,
Jason
We have automated scripts that upload WDLs to the FireCloud Methods Repository (using fiss commands). I would like to automatically add Synopsis and Description to these uploaded methods. Is this possible? Thanks!

Hi Mani,
You may be able to edit your scripts to leverage the Low-Level API described in the FISS documentation to populate synopsis and documentation fields.
This would be the API of interest: https://api.firecloud.org/#/Method%20Repository/post_api_methods
Kind regards,
Jason
That sounds like a good idea. I'll give it a try. Thanks!
