Batch importing same labeled extract in more than one array on a multi-array slide only keeps the last entry in file

[Jari Häkkinen]

I noticed that trying to batch import a multi-array hybridization with one labeled extract in two arrays will only connect the last entry in the file. I have used the array index to point at different arrays on the slide.

Is the above use case supported by BASE? If it can be supported we should fix the issue, if the use case cannot be supported then the batch importer should react with an error.

A given labeled extract can only be assigned to one place on a hybridization. I know that this may no meet real-world requirements. It is a know issue since the introduction of sub-arrays on a single hybridization (#868) that can't be changed without breaking existing things.

I'll see if we can report this as an error. Are there any other options than fail/skip?

No. For me there is really only fail! But we should allow users to select to ignore errors.

(In [4891]) Fixes #1291: Batch importing same labeled extract in more than one array on a multi-array slide only keeps the last entry in file

There is now an option to detect this and report an error.
