ASSAY PERFORMERS are repetaedly added to the isa.investigation file as STUDY CONTACTS which is often not true.
Also they are added multiple times if an assay performer performed more than one assay or when arc update is executed a second time.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Manually enter ASSAY PERFORMERS as registering these did not work in my hands using arc commander via command line.
arc update
Manually added ASSAY PERFORMERS are added to STUDY CONTACTCS
When executing arc update again with and without changes, the ASSAY PERFORMERS are added again to STUDY CONTACTS (in duplicate)
When executing arc update a third time, this does not happen again.
Expected behavior
In my opinion, adding ASSAY PERFORMERS to the isa.investiagtion file is important.
As they are in many cases not the study contact persons, a seperate section for ASSAY PERFORMERS with the respective assay identifier would be best. Multiple performers could maybe be added as lists seperated with a semicolon in the same column as the respective Study Assay Identifier (or currently "Study Assay File Name")?
Also, adding assay information for isa.assay to isa.study for respective assays registered to a study would be beneficial with respect to contributing persons in case only part of an ARC is published or transferred. For assay performers with respect to arc validation, I do not see the requirement of mail addresses being mandatory.
