Button to reserve a study identifier for 24h [Enhancement]

sneumann opened this issue · 1 comments

Hi, I repeatedly find myself creating a study specifically for MTBLS, and lacking any idea
which identifier it will get one day, I name it MTBLSX. Then, after first upload, I want
to have the now assigned MTBLS accession in the filenames etc., so I hack with
search&replace and filename renaming to get the accession in.

Wouldn't it be cool if I could log into MTBLS, hit a button "reserve accession for 24h",
get an accession, use that in, e.g. mzml2isa, and have the correct upload ready
in just a few minutes ?! If I fail to upload within 24h, this could be released again,
to avoid people hogging accession numbers.

Yours,
Steffen
