Troubleshooting: Sample Entity Not Displaying in Entities App
Issue:
A user has a Sample Entity with a picklist field that needs to evaluate an ESP Expression to display the list choices
The expression was tested in a protocol picklist and evaluates as expected in a picklist column
The param groups with a “list” as the value did not evaluate as “list” objects when used with ESP Expressions for picklists
"The values for a Parameter can be either scalar values or lists", and iterating over the param reference returned a single character in each list row
Solution:
ESP Expressions are not evaluated in the Entities app, and this is evident that the list correctly renders in the LIMs app but not on Sample Creation
User can change this to a Sample Protocol as a temporary workaround
In the future L7 is experimenting with supporting expressions in the Entities app, but this feature is not currently available
