Hi Kara,
The duplicate entries were created doing it this way as well. While I was out they did it
that way and it still created duplicate entries.

Subject: [FAS_equipment_management] Duplicate Asset Creation Work Around
Importance: High
Good Afternoon All,
There is a bug in Equipster that causes duplicate entries to be created. This occurs
when an Equipster user tries to create an Asset directly from an Unassigned Transactions
rather than assigning the transaction to an existing Asset. In this scenario, the user
receives an error onscreen and two copies of the Asset are created instead of just one.
HUIT has asked that we do a work around while they address this problem. This work around
would be to create the asset first and then assigning the transaction to it, rather than
trying to create the Asset directly from the transaction.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact me.
Thank you,
Kara
