The expression field in the selection algorithm is of type String. You can connect any model input or algorithms output of that same type. Since your 'year' input is of type number, it cannot be connected :-(
It would be great to be able to derive strings from other strings or numbers, but that's not yet implemented Hope this helps 2015-01-16 6:46 GMT+01:00 Andreas Neumann <[email protected]>: > Along the lines - I am generally unsure how I can connect input parameters > in algorithms.
