20.10.12.2 bugs

Dear all,

here is a list of known bugs reported till now for 20.10.12.2:

  • cannot visualise datasets attached to Space Objects and Project Objects
  • wrong link to documentation in ELN UI
  • cannot filter by date or timestamp in ELN tables
  • objects not shown in the correct hierarchy in ELN navigation menu. Some users have reported this issue, but it is not systematic for all users.
  • “show more” option in menu no longer present.
  • ELN tables: long text cut in tables and “show more” option no longer available
  • ELN tables: tables have fixed size now; if a table is set to display more than 10 entries, when scrolling to the bottom of the table, the table header disappears
  • Menu does not re-load when switching between Lab Notebook, Inventory and Tools tabs after closing all tabs in one of these sections.
  • When adding a new group to a multi-group instance, the settings of this group cannot be opened
  • Zenodo export not working in multi-group instances

We plan to have a 20.10.12.3 bug fix release early next year to fix these issues.
If you encounter anything not covered in this list, please report it as soon as possible. Can be reported as reply to this topic or to openbis-support@id.ethz.ch.

Caterina

A couple of users also reported the following behaviours:

  • new tabs open when using keyboard arrows inside rich text editor
  • when there is a form in edit mode and a user switches between several open tabs, occasionally when going back to the form in edit mode edits are lost

These issues do not happen systematically for all users and we could not reproduce them. If anyone observes these behaviours, please inform us.

Hi Caterina,
We’re currently trying out the 20.10.12.2 release using tablets, however we quickly realize that it’s not possible to input text in any of the text fields (General search, filling forms for objects, entries, protocols etc)
What happens is that once you mark the text field, the keyboard pops up for a millisecond and then disappears, making it impossible to write anything.

model: Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite

OS: Android 16

Browser: Chrome 142.0.7444.171 and Brave 1.84.141

EDIT

It works with Firefox!

Thank you for your work with this.

Best,
Filip

Our user report this bug too, however for Edge browser only. With Firefox browser it is working

Thank you Viktoria!
I can confirm that it works to type in / edit / register objects when using Firefox on the tablet

We realized that after a “certain time” some tabs become unresponsive. This happens both on Apple computers running Safari, or Windows computers running Chrome. Here is a (probably not very helpful) screenshot, where the clicking on ‘show available storage space’ slightly discolors the button, but does not have any tangible effect.

Reloading the windows solves the issue, but isn’t great in windows where data has been entered….

Dear OpenBIS team,

I encountered a bug where moving a set of objects from a collection in a project to a project with no collections present silently deletes all objects to be moved - admins cannot see objects in the ‘deleted items’ section. It is reproducible.

Thanks and best,

victor

Dear victor,

are you sure that the objects are deleted? It is possible that they are not visible in the main menu because you need to enable them to be shown in the settings. Did you try to search for those objects?

Hi Caterina!

You are absolutely right, a simple global search showed the presumed “deleted” sample.. :face_in_clouds: It appears that their path is now in my userspace root, so ‘VBOETTCHER/A_SAMPLE’ whereas the identifier shows ‘VBOETTCHER/SAMPLES/A_SAMPLE’. Where may i unhide the objects?

Thank you very much for the quick help!

Dear Victor,

this is done in the Settings, as described here for enabling object is dropdowns: New Entity Type Registration — Python documentation

There is also a checkbox for enabling objects in the main menu.

Best

Caterina
