Issue
When trying to register a child entity, this error message displays: "Entities of [Parent entity schema] and [Child entity schema] cannot be registered together because they have incompatible naming options. Please register them separately"
Environment
Registry application
Cause
When Benchling registers unregistered linked parent entities along with the child entity, this error can display if a registered version already exists for this parent entity.
Resolution steps
Search for the name of the linked parent entity to find registered versions, including registry ID, then do one of the following:
-
- Link the child entity to the registered version of the parent entity, then register the child entity. You can then choose to archive the unregistered version.
- Unregister the registered version of the parent entity, then register the child entity.
