Configuration parameters not preserved when Plugin configuration copied

[Johan Vallon-Christersson]

When creating a new Plugin configuration by copying an existing configuration the parameters are not preserved. For example, by creating a copy of a configuration for the Raw data importer Max data columns is changed (from 48 in the original to 43 in the copy). Also, several column mappings are changed, e.g., from \F532 % Sat.\ in the original to \25\ in the copy.

This sounds like you have mixed up your configurations. I am not able to reproduce this problem. Please check that you are actually comparing the original with the copy.

I manage to reproduce it (yesterday and today). Working on the demo site. The original "Gene Pix (ch1=Cy3, ch2=Cy5) (Pro 4.1.1.4)" with maxDataColumns = 48 and the created copy "BUG test Copy of Gene Pix (ch1=Cy3, ch2=Cy5) (Pro 4.1.1.4)" with maxDataColumns = 43.

Enell suggests that it might be a problem with version handling, .i.e., information from an old version is copied rather than from the current.

[Nicklas Nordborg]

Please provide step-by-step instruction about how to reproduce this. Assume an empty database and start with creating the first configuration (that is later to be copied).

[Johan Enell]

• Create a plugin configuration
• Edit your configuration
• Copy your configuration and note that the parameter that you just edited has the value of the first configuration
