January 2025 monthly summary: Delivered cross-repo enhancements to transform-based assay result workflows, enabling scripted data transformations during updates and ensuring data integrity across legacy keys and re-imported data. In LabKey/commonAssays, data transformation scripting is integrated into assay result updates by wiring up transform scripts in ElispotDataExchangeHandler and LuminexDataExchangeHandler, introducing DataTransformService.TransformOperation into method signatures and propagating it through to superclass methods to ensure transformations use the new scripting capabilities. In LabKey/platform, the assay result update workflow was enhanced to execute transform scripts during result updates, merges re-imported data when rerunning assays, and refactor plate metadata handling; fixes were implemented to factor old keys into transform row resolution to maintain data integrity. These changes reduce manual data correction, improve traceability, and standardize transformed data across assay types, delivering measurable business value through faster processing and higher data quality.
