Natalie,
1. Whenever I try to transfer a file from a sequencing request I am getting the error Error.The user1@example.org user could not login to Galaxy
The data transfer code is being improved and should be ready soon.
2. one of the update emails was "lims: required fields of samples are now enforced by submission" but I still don't seem to have this functionality
Are you submitting the request as a regular user or an admin? This functionality is only true when a regular user is submitting a request. If an admin submits a request, this is not enforced as an admin can edit the request even after submitting it.
3. When importing the form fields from a csv file the fields are not being assigned to the grid level that they are specified for. This was true before I updated the instance.
I am looking into this. Thanks Ramkrishna
