Can't Directly Recapitalize Trial Sequence

Issue #187 new
Enthalpy created an issue

If you try to change the name of a sequence, but the only thing different is the capitalization, you receive an error message (the translation of string 'error_tech_v5_sequence_id_already_used') that the sequence title is already in use. The trial sequence search SQL query is not set to be case-insensitive, so it is case sensitive by default.

This can be worked around by changing the sequence name to something else, then changing it back with the desired capitalization.

While it’s desirable to change this behavior, we would have to think very carefully about which SQL selects should be made case-insensitive, why, and whether that would cause unexpected problems in other SQL searches.
