assays can have a transform script. when you setup an instance of your assay, you can specify the file path to a transform script file.

assays can be defined in a file based module. the purpose of defining the domains, metadata, etc in files is so it is versioned and is very easy to sync between instances of labkey. if done well, it should require very little or no end-user configuration to get the assay set up and working consistently.

so far as i can tell, transform scripts dont fit well into that. i didnt see a method of specifying a default transform script with your assay definition. I also did not see a way to consistently write the file path to your transform script (ie. relative to the module perhaps?). are both of those true? is there a way to work with transform scripts that makes the setup more automatic?

thanks.
