Known Issues

When the same container type is used as the input and output container type, the sample placement helper script (PlacementHelper.jar script:place_samples) looks for the first template file that contains the input container type string in the file name when scanning the specified template files location. For example, if a 96-well plate is used as the input and output container type and there are multiple template files in the same location, the script uses the first file that contains the input container type string. To avoid this issue, select a location that only has one template file.

This bug will be fixed in the upcoming NGS v5.22.0 release.
