Unit updating not effective if study name not changed #109

Hi. I wanted to change a Unit for a continuous Field Type, for a just.created study, and therefore without changing the "study name" (i.e. the very first field of the wizard).

I uploaded the former wizard table to recover the Fields info
I edited the textbox for the Unit I wanted to edit
I submitted to obtain a new copy of the metadata template => Problem: the unit choice in the popup did not register the edit.

The problem can be solved by changing the "study name", which I think is an issue..

Thanks

Note that I'm hoping this is small-scope, but until I reproduce it I can't be sure--as noted elsewhere, the automatic unit column generation is a rather tricky part of the code.

@AmandaBirmingham can you reproduce? It seems like the bug may be related to a server-side check for the file already existing and not updating?

@FranckLejzerowicz I have not been able to reproduce this; perhaps I am not correctly understanding the steps you performed. Would it be possible for me to again come visit you to see the bug in action? :)

I just trying again and the unit change performs properly. I can't tell you why the issue is solved, but it is... Was I using a different server? I now just used http://ec2-34-215-148-70.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:8183 I guess I should close the issue.
