Hi,

I am trying to import some raw data with flags such as "NORMAL" and
"ABNORMAL" into raw bioassays. I have mapped this column to the 'Flags'
field in the raw data importer config for Genepix format (this is on
BASE 2.3.0). For some reason the importer chokes on the values for the
flags though and throws a NumberFormatException. It looks to me as
though it is trying to parse the String to a float -- see stack trace
below. 
In the raw-data-types.xml config file the Flags field for the Genepix
data format is listed as being an integer type. Could that be the
problem? Is this a problem with my setup or potentially a bug, and has
anyone else seen this behaviour?

Cheers

Micha
