Change Plot entry
There are cases where the breeders realize at the planting stage that there is not enough seed for all the plots they have in the experimental design. A tradeoff must be done in such cases and the breeder might opt for 1) Replace the entry for all plots 2) Replace the entry for a particular plot 3) Add a new entry as a replacement for a particular set of plots.
With the Change plot entry option, you can 1) Replace the entry for all plots and 2) Replace the entry for a particular plot
Select one or more than one plot in the observations table
Notice in the screen displayed: 1) All environments are selected and, 2) a filter by GID is used. These selections permit the replacement of the entry for all plots in the study.

OK
The system replaces the selected entry in all of the selected plots updating all the germplasm-specific information (gid, designation, etc) and entry information (entry type, entry code, etc).
These changes propagate to the sub observations if present.
NOTE: You could not proceed with the replacement if i) the study has an associated MEANS dataset, or ii) new germplasm has been generated (through advances or crosses) within the study, or iii) or one or more of the selected plots has genotyping samples associated to it, or iv) one or more of the selected plots has pending or confirmed inventory transactions associated to it. A proper error message will be displayed.
