Adding another study should force a plate mapper update #568

Open fedarko opened 5 years ago

This currently doesn't happen, but it would make sense to have this sort of functionality available (discussed this with @charles-cowart).

As an example: say the user enters in some specimen IDs associated with "Study 1", but no studies have been added for the given plate yet. These IDs would all show up with a red candy-stripe background.

If the user then adds Study 1, these specimen IDs will remain with a red candy-stripe background. This will only change when the user forces an update by changing individual IDs to something else, then changing those IDs back.

Implementing this shouldn't be too difficult (on adding a study, force a refresh of all of the wells), but I'm not familiar enough with this code to say how easy it'll be to go from pseudocode to implementation.
