Y24-156 - [BUG] Re-editing of a location name is needed if a longer name is required
seenanair opened this issue · comments
Describe the bug
When creating a storage location, it is required to first enter a short name for the storage location so that it fits on printed barcodes. Then it needs to be re-edited to a longer, more descriptive name if needed. Many people struggle with it in the lab, and it takes much more effort.
Expected behaviour
It should allow the user to enter the required name while creating, without the need for re-editing
Additional context
Discuss with the stakeholder(Tristram Bellerby) to check whether there is a possibility of switching to 2D barcodes.
or
Keeping separate fields for printing and display
Extra info:
I think behind the scenes this is because when you first save the location name, it uses that to create the 'barcode' in the system. Subsequent edits have no effect on the barcode.
Steve mentioned that it wasn't a bug, it was designed that way. But it is causing frustration within the lab.
