AssayMethodID and MethodID

If I am incorrect, please close this topic,
In v2, assayMethodId has been changed to methodId according to the documentation.
However, in the ERD, I couldnt find methodID,
perhaps, I have misunderstood something here.
Please let me know if you have any ideas, thank you.

Hello @wtingsam ! Apologies for the delay in getting back to you on your question. You’re very right that in our documentation we state that the version 1 variable assayMethodId has become methodID, and for most of the development process that was true. Very close to release, however, we revisited our use of the “ID” suffix in part names and IDs, and so methodID became simply method. Apologies for the confusion, and thank you for flagging that the documentation needs to be updated. Can you point me to where in the documentation you read this so I can find and fix this note quicker?

In summary: assayMethodId → methodID → method.

Hello @matthomson. Thank you for the response. The summary is very easy to understand.
In the ODM_ERD_V2.0.0, it is written as “method”, therefore I think it is already up to dated.
I was confused because from this documentation shown below,
I can see methodID defined in the documention, but now I understand how assaymethodId changed through time.

Ahh - thank you, @wtingsam ! Clearly we need to move a revamp and clean up of the documentation website up in our priority list. Thank you for pointing me to where this mistake is still present. I hope to have this fixed by next week. Thank you again!
