Mandatory Properties and Entry Order During Sample Creation

Hello everyone,
I have one questions related to mandatory properties in openBIS and would appreciate some clarification.

I have a sample type with several mandatory properties, for example:

  • Name

  • Date

  • Manufacturer

  • Sample Type

Currently, openBIS forces the user to enter these properties in a fixed order.
If I try to enter Manufacturer first, it throws an error stating that Name and Date are mandatory and must be filled first.

What we would prefer is:

  • Allow entering property values in any order, even if the fields are mandatory

  • Validate mandatory fields only at the time of saving

  • If mandatory fields are missing at save time, throwing an error is completely fine

Questions:

  • Is this strict entry order the normal behavior of openBIS?

  • Is there any way to allow free order data entry for mandatory properties and validate them only on save?

Best regards,

Shiva.
