Highlight separate data collections in assay tables #1780

Open sellth opened 1 year ago

sellth commented 1 year ago

Problem

Neighbouring rows in assay tables can point to separate data collections defined by e.g. the last material name via the dna_sequencing plugin. This is however not communicated by the iRODS dialogue and can lead to confusion.

Solution

Somehow distinguish separate iRODS collections in the floating dialogue window.

On large enough projects it will be confusing even if we add some e.g. coloring. The fact we have links for each row has worked well so far.

In the future these buttons will be replaced by a single button, which opens a modal displaying links relevant to that row, see #465.

This modal can be easily made to display other info as well, such as the iRODS collection name, or some other labels specifying what the different links are for. Maybe that answers this problem somewhat?
