Uninformative error when batch submitting unknown strains.

[rupertoverall]

When batch submitting temporary traits, the upload will sometimes fail with the error The format of the file is incorrect, or it contains unknown strains.
In my case, it is because I have data for strains that don't yet have GN genotypes (BXD224, BXD226). It would be pretty helpful when working out which strains to drop (or spell correctly) to have the offending strings reported. Is this possible?

Got it. Thanks Rupert.

Hi Rupert. Yes, this is possible: When an upload fails, let it fail with a useful error message instead of the generic message that leaves you abit baffled. I'm tracking this here: <https://issues.genenetwork.org/issues/uninformative-error-when-batch-submitting-unknown-strains.html>
