Research direction

No files or tests are named. Reproduce the issue by associating studies with a plate, navigating to another page, and returning to the plating interface; then trace how plate metadata is rebuilt and whether studies lacking specimen_ids are removed. Done means associated studies remain visible while plating is in progress, with a regression test covering the navigation flow.

Description

Studies that have been associated with a plate have been reported to disappear when the user migrates to another page and then return to the plating interface.

Speculation is that this occurs because studies without associated specimen_ids in any of the cells below may be getting removed from the the plate metadata. This may be fine for completed plates, however, for plating in progress, it appears as odd behavior.
