Description
Apologies if this is already a feature. I understand that the output directory is `output_path/prefix_date-time` where `output_path` is the relative directory or a user input. I would like to provide the output directory as a variable in order to pass it to my script during the run step. For example:
```
study:
- name: example
description: example
run:
cmd: |
python $(SCRIPT) \
--output_directory $(OUTPUT_DIRECTORY)
```
where `OUTPUT_DIRECTORY` corresponds to `output_path/prefix_date-time`.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!
