Feature request: setting runtime attributes at runtime

[pieterlukasse]

Hi,

I would like to be able to override something like:

    runtime {
        docker: "mydockerimagename"
    }

at runtime. Is this possible already? I know people have been using workarounds by making the docker image name to be an input variable. I would like to have it separate from workflow input variables though.

Hi @pieterlukasse, this is likely going to be a specification (an OpenWDL) problem more than a Cromwell one directly. It doesn't solve your problem in the short term obviously, but that's probably the best place to start.

@illusional you are right! Thanks. Moved to openwdl/wdl#401

So, it seems OpenWDL is well on its way to solve this (see openwdl/wdl#401). My question now is: what are the plans to implement the support for it in Cromwell?
