Base Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for use in a computing programming environment, the method comprising: receiving a plurality of user inputs, each user input specifying an action in a workflow; automatically identifying a data type incompatibility between an output of a first one of the specified actions and an input of a second one of the specified actions; and automatically generating a background script running in the background, wherein the background script is adapted to execute the actions in the workflow responsive to the user inputs, the background script adapted to automatically convert data of at least one of the incompatible data types to a compatible data type, wherein automatically converting the data comprises converting data based at least upon a relevance hierarchy of compatible data types.
