Description

Is it possible to have attribute names with dots?
For example:

pep_version: 2.1.0
sample_table: "samples.csv"
sample_modifiers:
  append:
    sample_name: name
  derive:
    attributes: ["sample_name"]
    sources:
      name: "{accession}_{assembly_info.assembly_name}"

Right now I get the error:

In sample 'name' cannot correctly parse derived attribute source: {accession}_{'assembly_info.assembly_name'}. Caught exception: 'str' object has no attribute 'assembly_name''

Research direction

Start by reproducing the configuration in the issue and trace how derived attribute sources parse dotted names. Determine whether the example can resolve assembly_info.assembly_name, then verify that the sample configuration completes without the reported parsing error.
