This came up in review of the accession importer. I'm creating an issue to remind us to discuss it :-)
Recap / Brain dump from PR
Currently our uniquename/accession is KP:GERM[stock_id] which we cannot fill into the import template ahead of time since we do not know the stock_id until after insert. We have discussed that perhaps we should keep the primary accession as the original accession for that germplasm (i.e. genebank accession, cross number, RIL number) but what if we do not have an existing accession to apply (i.e. random seed from the grocery store)? Also, what about other sites which may want to stick with giving all germplasm their own unique accession? We'll want to walk through an example of how to get around this or test it to see what happens.
