Suggestions on generating dynamic form data

Really helpful thread! I managed to do the same for the slurm accounts;

class SlurmData
  def self.accounts
    username = Etc.getlogin
    accounts = []
    IO.popen 'sacctmgr -np show accounts withassoc 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

combined with

  bc_account:
    widget: "select"
    label: "Project"
    options: [<%= SlurmData.accounts.join(', ') %>]

(Note: I had to modify bc_account to allow it to specify a custom widget type, as it was hardcoded to text_field)

Edit: The use of the bracket list yml syntax here was to avoid errors if for some reason the list happened to be empty. An empty

   options:

causes errors.
