Month 2025-09: Delivered two high-impact changes in AAFC-BICoE/dina-ui focusing on data integrity and visibility of material samples. Fixed a bug that could delete scheduled actions before they are saved and added unit tests to verify correct creation and persistence. Enhanced the External Resource view by adding a new section that shows attached material samples by querying related samples using the current metadata ID, integrating the CustomQueryPageView. Impact: Increased data reliability in the Material Sample workflow and improved discoverability of material samples within External Resources, enabling faster validation and decision-making for users. Technologies/skills demonstrated: frontend TypeScript/React, unit testing, API/query integration, CustomQueryPageView usage, and end-to-end feature delivery with risk-managed changes.
