This only affects non-analyzable calculations, like @TTAB where the value is the same for all replicates. - Fixed so strikethrough font style is not added to reports containing assessment column headers. This was caused by special characters saved within the SE Description field. - Fixed error 91 when printing the Spray/Seeding Plan grouped by factor in the Dow AgroSciences study definition. - Fixed an error 75 that could occur when opening the Print Reports dialog.

Window - Study Rules -------------------- - Added new Assessment Data rule 'Consistent entries across Rating Timing'. This ensures that values entered in the chosen field auto-fill and remain consistent across the same Rating Timing. - Added new rule 'Value greater than 0'. This ensures that the value in a number field is greater than zero. Can be used with fields automatically filled from Settings, to ensure the value is updated at the appropriate time. - Changed 'Always' condition to 'With Application Date' for Site Description rules linked to applications. This way, a trial will not fail validation if the selected field is blank but the application date is also blank. ***************************************************************** Version 2019.3(2) May 21, 2019 Changes ***************************************************************** File - Print Reports -------------------- - Fixed error 91 when printing the label "Brief Harvest Bag, bar code Trial,Trt,Plot". ***************************************************************** Version 2019.3 May 10, 2019 Changes ***************************************************************** File - Create Trial -------------------- - Do not prompt for study rules when creating a trial if there are study rules files attached to the protocol that cannot be found.
