Hi Trent,

It looks like this column hasn't been exposed at the query level, though as you've observed it's in the back-end database. If exposed, this column would show up on the SpecimenEvent table (viewable via the vial 'history' links and in the schema browser). Would you like me to enter a request to expose this column? If you'd like to expose it yourself in the meantime, you can add the following line to SpecimenEventTable.java:
     addWrapColumn(_rootTable.getColumn("ExternalId")).setHidden(true);

Note that the 'setHidden(true)' call just prevents the column from appearing by default in various UIs.

Thanks,
Britt

Hi Britt,

Apologies for the delay. We were just deciding what best to do.

It would be helpful if that column would/could be exposed in a future version.

Cheers,
Trent

Hi Trent,

I just added this to the trunk with revision 22260.

Thanks,
Josh
