Errors Corrected

This release includes corrections to 53 errors reported by Customers, including the following critical errors:

• Web Client Freezer Section assigned to an Aliquot cleared if Default Field to Display was not set in User Preferences (FW-56769)

• Batch Update Sub-Aliquot from List View – if Default Freezer is set to a non-unique Freezer, all listed Aliquots will be sub-aliquotted rather than just those selected (FW-55903)

• Sub-Aliquot from Samples Entry Form – assign sub-aliquots to a non-unique Freezer can result in the wrong Parent ID being assigned (FW-57707)

• Move Aliquots – moving individual aliquots with a Freezer Alias causes the Alias to be reassigned to the individual positions rather than the Box (FW-56309)

• Import – including two unique Patient Identifiers can cause data corruption (FW-55782)

• Link Samples to Patients – using a multi-page form with patient linking fields on each page can result in the loss of previously entered data (FW-56779)

• Duplicate Sample – Immediately opening a newly create duplicate sample can cause data corruption (FW-55557)

• User Defined Fields – Able to delete System Fields (FW-55919)

• Process Workflows on Web Client – if an Exception exists which changes the starting Box Number, the exception is not recognized during workflow processing (FW-56941)
