Why is there an "Invalid link" error on my part links?

Issue

An "invalid link" error appears next to part links. This error triggers a validation error for the whole registered entity.

Environment

Registry, Molecular Biology (DNA sequences)

Cause

The sequence of a part link must match completely with a portion of the sequence of the registered Entity. If a part is already linked and either sequence is changed, the part link metadata field will show an "Invalid link" error.

Resolution steps

If the customer wants to keep the part link, have them compare the sequences between both and manually fix any discrepancies between them.
If the customer does not need to keep the part link, they can edit the entity metadata and manually remove the linked part.
