Description
How to Reproduce
Import a dataset with a compound in it (
invuse.xlsx
)
Go to dataexplorer
Go to attributes table
Make the compound its own parent (make functionTest the parent of functionTest)
Save
Expected behavior
I cannot select the name of the same compound or one of its children in the first place.
Observed behavior
I can assign the same compound as parent. After that the compound disappears from the table in the dataexplorer/add row, but it's still in the attributes table and the database. I cannot delete my table anymore:
Notes:
-
I cannot undo this, if I remove the parent functionTest for functionTest again and save, it's still there
plus this beautiful error in the console:
-
I cannot do this in the metadata manager, because the tree in that view simply cannot be build with circular dependencies. The save button stays disabled, but no error message shows. When you hack the save button to be not disabled and I save, I get a console error telling me about the circular dependency
-
You can also add a child of a compound as its parent, the same behaviour occurs
