Issue

User would like a way to search for well contents using a combination of plate barcode and well position. This is not currently possible using lookup tables.

Environment

Lookup tables, inventory

Cause

Lookup tables are currently best suited for searching from an entity or container as a starting point; they are not currently well suited for plates.

Resolution steps

Instead of using a lookup table, use an Inventory table (using the "Update container or plate well attributes" option) to search for well contents using plate barcode and well position. Use this Inventory table as a reference without needing to submit any changes.
