Order of object properties/sections is mixed up

LIMS

We set up several objec templates (via the admin-ui) containing multiple sections with several properties. It works fine and those object templates were changed/optimized several times. However, once and in a while I notice, that the order of the properties in the template is changed or sometimes one section is divided in two sections with the same name. The properties will then be mixed up in the web-ui confusing the users. I do not know what causes this behavior and I change it manually back to the original order when this phenomena occurs.

The properties of these objects will be (partially) filled by a python script using pybis.

Does someone noticed this phenomena as well or knows the reason?

Dear @mschroeder,

“one section is divided in two sections with the same name”

I guess these sections don’t appear after one another or it would be one section. So the order of the properties was messed up.

If you find the steps to reproduce your issue would be very helpful. You can directly sent it to our support.

Best,
Juan

Hi Juan,

unfortunately, I do not know how to reproduce this phenomena.

For example, I have a section “Experimental details” with property 1, 2 and 3. At some point, I notice a change. There are two changes which can occur independently or simultaneously:

#1 one section “Experimental details” with the properties 3, 1, 2 in changes order.

#2 section 1 “Experimental details” with the property 1 and 2 and a second section “Experimental details” with property 3. The two sections could be consecutive in the sections order or a third section is inbetween.

Is there a log file on changes in the templates? So, I could try to find out when the change occured and what was done (e.g. using pybis)

FYI: This also happens to us from time to time. I don’t recognise any pattern or connection with any of my actions. It just happens and is very annoying.
