Fixed an issue where the connector downloads only downloaded the main folder, not the folder contents
For consistency, it is no longer possible to link to folders or files from within subfolders. Previously, you could link, but the files and folders are always linked to top level instead of the subfolder from where linking was done
Updated error handling for dataUpdateBatch API endpoint
Moving small files (>8Mb) will not trigger a "moving" event, only that the move has completed as out-of-order events caused issues and moving small files happens fast enough to not need the status of being moved, only the completion of the move
Improved error handling when encountering issues during cancellation of data copy/move
Improved error message when trying to unlink data from a project via the API when this data is native to that project and not linked
Fixed issue where analysis can proceed to download input data when any of the inputs are in status other than AVAILABLE, including records within folder data inputs

Fixed an issue where the field content was not set to empty when the field input forms have changed between the original analysis and a rerun
Replaced retry exhaustion message, "External Service failed to process after max retries 503 Unique Reference ID: 1234" with a more useful message to end users that advises them to contact Illumina support: "Attempt to launch ICA workflow session failed after max retries. Please contact Illumina Tech Support for assistance. Unique Reference ID: 1234". This does not replace more specific error messages that provide corrective advice to the user, such as "projectId cannot be null"
For efficiency reasons, pipeline files are limited to a file size of 100 Megabytes
Bench
Fixed an issue which caused .bash_profile to no longer source .bashrc
Fixed the status of deleted docker images which previously were displayed as available
After creating a tool, the Information tab and Create Tool are now no longer accessible to prevent erroneous selection

Various performance improvements - reuse of connections to Base instances
A particular storage configuration should only be available during project creation in case it is your own storage configuration, or when the owner (or a tenant administrator) gives explicit access to it for other users in their tenant.
Bench - when trying to get an access token through the API, access was denied in case Base was not enabled within the project.
Base - 'You are not allowed to modify data' was shown to the user when clicking the Sync button as a Contributor
Base - importing data with format JSON in a table was not possible.
Files within a sample will only show up in case the data is also explicitly linked to the project/bundle.
Bundles - a user with Contributor access did not have the necessary access rights for managing all resource of the bundle.
Project billing modes can be 'project' or 'tenant'. In case 'tenant', the users from another tenant than the owner of the project was not able to upload files.
Within the Activation Codes view, activation codes for access to the Variants/Cohorts modules were not listed.
It was not possible to add a bundle at project creation. The project had to be saved before the bundle could be added.
The roles explanation in the Team page on a permission record did not show the entire information.
Various stability improvements - In case of a database outage, ICA was not able to automatically reconnect.
When managing docker images, a partial docker image was not allowed to be deleted nor updated resulting in a stuck image.
When exporting the contents of a grid from the UI, the exported file contained tenant ids instead of tenant names.

When a user links a sample from another project to the current project, the data will not be automatically linked to the current project as well. The user should explicitly add the data to the current project as well if the user wants to use it.
Various performance improvements - linking a folder with a lot files to another project or bundle timed out.
Base - loading metadata into a table using a schedule resulted in the same data being added over and over again.
When trying to populate the Sample Metadata, we now always use the Project Metadata Model if there is no Pipeline Metadata Model.

The PUT /project/{projectid}/data/{dataid} gives the user the impression that all fields can be updated on the data, but it is a different set for files as for folders. This distinction is not properly documented.
API - GET /api/projects/{projectId}/analyses - when the pipeline did not belong to the tenant, but the user still has access to it (eg: through a bundle), the analysis details could not be retrieved through the API.
API - GET /api/projects/{projectId}/analyses/{analysisId} returned the details of an analysis, even if the projectid did not match the actual project the analysis ran in.

[Base] Fix error message when viewing a query from query history that no longer returns results
[bugfix] in some cases after aborting an analysis, it may remain stuck in aborting state indefinitely. Now more resources are explicitly cleaned to avoid this issue from happening.

The Project > Team permissions showed a little pencil in front of the row indicating a modification. With this fix, the pencil will only show when there were actual modifications done to the row in particular.
API - All dates in API responses were formatted in 12 hours notation without AM/PM notation. This way a time in PM is presented as AM. With this fix, all time notations are in 24 hours.
When starting an analysis through the sample page, the start window is not closed after pressing start. Users would click it again, which would start the analysis multiple times. With this fix, the start window is closed after pressing start.
When starting an analysis fails because the backend service returns an error, the status of the analysis is "Awaiting Input". With this fix, the analysis goes to "Failed".
Base - in case the export of query results failed, an empty file was created and never cleaned up. With this fix, there are no leftovers in case of export failure.
When a sample was linked from another project to the current project, the details view of the sample shows all data linked to it, even of the current project does not have access to it. With this fix, only the data which is also linked to the current project will be shown on the details of the sample.
API - PUT /project/{projectid}/data/{dataid} update sometimes had to be done twice for it to persist. With this fix, all editable attributes can be updated at once.

Various performance improvements - reuse of connections to Base instances
A particular storage configuration should only be available during project creation in case it is your own storage configuration, or when the owner (or a tenant administrator) gives explicit access to it for other users in their tenant.
Bench - when trying to get an access token through the API, access was denied in case Base was not enabled within the project.
Base - 'You are not allowed to modify data' was shown to the user when clicking the Sync button as a Contributor
Base - importing data with format JSON in a table was not possible.
Files within a sample will only show up in case the data is also explicitly linked to the project/bundle.
Bundles - a user with Contributor access did not have the necessary access rights for managing all resource of the bundle.
Project billing modes can be 'project' or 'tenant'. In case 'tenant', the users from another tenant than the owner of the project was not able to upload files.
Within the Activation Codes view, activation codes for access to the Variants/Cohorts modules were not listed.
It was not possible to add a bundle at project creation. The project had to be saved before the bundle could be added.
The roles explanation in the Team page on a permission record did not show the entire information.
Various stability improvements - In case of a database outage, ICA was not able to automatically reconnect.
When managing docker images, a partial docker image was not allowed to be deleted nor updated resulting in a stuck image.
When exporting the contents of a grid from the UI, the exported file contained tenant ids instead of tenant names.
Base - the export of query results to a json format resulted in a failure in case the query ended with ';'
A non-tenant-admin user was not able to create a metadata model.
Base - exporting query results, specifying a custom delimiter did not work.
When a user clicks the bundle card in the "Bundles" view, and the user has no access to manage the bundle because it is shared with the user by another tenant, the following notification will be displayed: "Details for a bundle from another tenant are not accessible" instead of "Bundle details unavailable"
When a user links a sample from another project to the current project, the data will not be automatically linked to the current project as well. The user should explicitly add the data to the current project as well if the user wants to use it.
Various performance improvements - linking a folder with a lot files to another project or bundle timed out.
Base - loading metadata into a table using a schedule resulted in the same data being added over and over again.
When trying to populate the Sample Metadata, we now always use the Project Metadata Model if there is no Pipeline Metadata Model.
Limit usable character set for the user reference of an analysis run
When an analysis was aborted, the output files which were generated so far were not visible in the details of the analysis, but only in the data view.

API - POST /api/projects/{projectId}/analysis:cwl - tags were not persisted when starting a CWL analysis run
The PUT /project/{projectid}/data/{dataid} gives the user the impression that all fields can be updated on the data, but it is a different set for files as for folders. This distinction is not properly documented.
API - GET /api/projects/{projectId}/analyses - when the pipeline did not belong to the tenant, but the user still has access to it (eg: through a bundle), the analysis details could not be retrieved through the API.
API - GET /api/projects/{projectId}/analyses/{analysisId} returned the details of an analysis, even if the projectid did not match the actual project the analysis ran in.
API - GET /projects/{projectId}/samples/{sampleId} did not expose metadata information
API - GET /projects/{projectsId}/data presented the user with an unclear error message in case providing invalid request parameters.

The Project > Team permissions showed a little pencil in front of the row indicating a modification. With this fix, the pencil will only show when there were actual modifications done to the row in particular.
API - All dates in API responses were formatted in 12 hours notation without AM/PM notation. This way a time in PM is presented as AM. With this fix, all time notations are in 24 hours.
When starting an analysis through the sample page, the start window is not closed after pressing start. Users would click it again, which would start the analysis multiple times. With this fix, the start window is closed after pressing start.
When starting an analysis fails because the backend service returns an error, the status of the analysis is "Awaiting Input". With this fix, the analysis goes to "Failed".
Base - in case the export of query results failed, an empty file was created and never cleaned up. With this fix, there are no leftovers in case of export failure.
When a sample was linked from another project to the current project, the details view of the sample shows all data linked to it, even of the current project does not have access to it. With this fix, only the data which is also linked to the current project will be shown on the details of the sample.
API - PUT /project/{projectid}/data/{dataid} update sometimes had to be done twice for it to persist. With this fix, all editable attributes can be updated at once.
