Contrast factor selection and input #20

Closed dangeles closed 5 years ago

dangeles commented 5 years ago

No guidance is given to fill out contrast factors. Seems like experimental design should be selected AFTER metadata has been filled out, right? Then values could be auto-filled, minimizing mistakes.

dangeles commented 5 years ago

ah, the plot thickens, because after selecting the contrast factor, the selected factor is now greyed out and cannot be annotated to all samples automatically.

HOWEVER, the factor remains ticked. It should NOT be ticked, since the tick implies the currently shown genotype (partially greyed out) will be applied to ALL samples.

Lioscro commented 5 years ago

I agree that the checkbox being active but greyed out can be misleading. Will look into that. But when a user selects, say, genotype as their contrasting factor, they should not be allowed to annotate all the samples with via the Common Sample Metadata form (since this form is for metadata that applies uniformly to all samples).

dangeles commented 5 years ago

agreed. i think whatever factor is chosen should not be shown as an option in the common sample metadata at all, if possible. else, greyed out, not tick box.
