Signals Notebook: Why Did the Order of the Experiment Table Columns Reset After an Update?

Description

After upgrading Signals Notebook, users may notice that the custom column order in tables that use Chemistry Settings fields has been reset, such as the Reactant and Product stoichiometry tables in Chemical Drawings and Summary tables in Parallel Experiments.

Cause

This is expected behavior. Custom column order is reset whenever changes are made to Chemistry Settings.

As a result, any upgrade or configuration change that modifies Chemistry Settings may reset the custom column order in tables that use those fields.

Solution

To restore the desired column order:

1. Open the affected table.
2. Reorder the columns as needed.
3. Save the experiment or template to save the new column order.
4. If templates are used, update and save the template so future experiments use the desired column order.
