Unable to assign pre-existing containers to sample type definitions #172

Open parkersruth opened 7 years ago

parkersruth commented 7 years ago

Currently, adding a new container to a sample type prompts the creation of a new object type. There should be a way to assign pre-existing containers.

I think currently there is a one-to-one between sample containers (i.e. items) and the sample type definition. Plasmids own Plasmid Stock, 1ng/ul Plasmid Stocks etc. Things could get messy if Plasmids could own Fragment Stocks, Yeast Plates, etc.

I changed this to an enhancement. I am not sure it is needed or if it is practical, but I'll look into it.

And I think it is a many to one relationship: Many object types can be associated with a single sample type.

Thanks. My motivating goal is to let Hydra live in either 600 mL trays or 25 mL dishes.
