Peter/Dennis,

The bug (https://www.labkey.org/issues/home/Developer/issues/details.view?issueId=22304) has been successfully fixed/resolved for the 15.1 release (build r36050) and I've confirmed the fix on my local machine.

The following has been done:

1. Within the Study under the Manage tab > Repository Type > Change Repository Type, if the repository type is "Advanced" and "Editable", you will see a "Specimen Detail" link that will take you into the Query view for the SpecimenDetail and allow you to select multiple rows of specimens (regardless if they have vials or not) and delete them.

2. The Delete button has been removed on the Individual Vials view. This is to avoid any confusion from the previous item mentioned above.

The reason for this approach is to avoid changing things for most users. (i.e. It would be confusing to allow a non-requestable vial to be selected and requested, yielding an error. Enabling the checkboxes and then catching the error earlier could be a lot of work.)

This will allow you to now delete specimen records without having the need for vials.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,

Jon
