Sample creation

[robinandeer]

When creating a new sample, how can you pass initial UDFs?

We have set up LIMS to require some UDFs on sample level so I can't create the sample before setting the correct UDFs.

I tried to look into setting up a UdfDictionary but it requires an instance of the Sample which is what I'm trying to create 😅

ideally you would want to create it like this:

Sample.create(l, container=c, position='H:3', project=p, name='sampletest', udf={'testudf':'testudf_value'})

However UdfDictionaryDescriptor does not have a __set__ method so it does not get set.
Adding one that iterate over the provided dict and populate the UdfDictionary should be easy.
Feel free to give it a go if you want.
