Issue

When a user tries to set a parameter as an archived item, the archived item does not populate in the search bar and is unable to be selected as a parameter.

Cause

The parameter functionality does not retain archived items.

 

Resolution steps

  1. Change the parameter type to "Text" instead of "Entity" / "Inventory" / "Entry".
  2. Manually type in the full name of the archived item in the text field as a parameter
  3. Benchling will still match the text to the name of the archived item but will not populate this for you as a "clickable blue chip" automatically.
