Yep, that’s what we do for populating dropdowns of Slurm accounts, reservations, etc. Reference: # Suggestions on generating dynamic form data - #6 by Micket

Example from /etc/ood/config/apps/dashboard/initializers/ood.rb :

# Cache the data when possible, rather than running the same commands every
# time. Should be able to have the user restart their PUN if there's an
# immediate update.
class SlurmData
  def self.accounts
    username = Etc.getlogin
    accounts = []
    IO.popen 'sacctmgr --noheader --parsable show assoc format=account,user' do |io|
      io.each do |line|
        acc = line.split('|')
        if acc[1] == username
          accounts.append(acc[0])
        end
      end
    end
    return accounts
  end
end

SlurmData.accounts

and the corresponding field in a form.yml:

  bc_account2:
    widget: "select"
    label: "Job account"
    options: [<%= SlurmData.accounts.sort.join(', ') %>]
    help: |
      Select the job account assigned to your class or research project.
