No Visual Indication of Mapping over a Collection

[jmchilton]

If I pass a data collection parameter of collection_type paired - a dataset pair - it will just run one job and produce an output. If I pass it a list of paired datasets - a very different operation occurs - it will map over the inputs and produced outputs collected together. Yet the web UI just lists these options together in the same select box and doesn't provide any indication even after being selected that a very different thing is going to occur.

The distinction should mirror that of datasets IMO (as it used to) - passing a paired parameter a list:paired input is very much like passing a data parameter a list input - and the UI should be similar. But even if I'm overruled and there is a desire to stick it all in one drop down - there should be some visual indication somehow made.

What are your thoughts @guerler?

I just tested 15.10 and there was a small visual indicator after selecting a collection to map over - this is a regression actually.

(Still think it should mirror regular datasets though 😉.)

I am open for suggestions (sketch?) and can definitely help implementing them.

@guerler Restoring the description that would show up in 15.10 would be a start - I imagine it wasn't removed intentionally.

I think this is fixed?
