Report of Tissue Identifiers being too long leads to:
"Error Connecting to FIMS: Invalid spreadsheet: Tissue id column (None) was not found"

Users says that when she shortens names the problem goes away. Need to verify the issue and offer a more informative error message, or allow longer tissue names.

Here is a description of the steps leading to the issue:
I am having trouble creating a new 96 well extraction plate.

When using Bulk Edit, I am able to populate the "Tissue Sample ID" column using the "Get tissue ID's from archive plate" from the Tools drop down box. This gives me the species name and unique identifier. I have used Biocode in Geneious several years ago but I don't recall how I have populated the "Extraction ID" column in the past and unfortunately, have not taken notes.
I have read the "Entering Data" section in http://software.mooreabiocode.org/index.php/Entering_Data but I cannot find an answer to my problem.

This time to populate the "Extraction ID" column I have tried to copy and paste the "Tissue Sample ID" and tried copying/pasting the extraction ID's from my LIMS excel spread sheet and clicked "OK" which returns me to the "New Plate". This looks right but when I click "OK" on the plate document I get an Plate Error Message (attached). I have check my Excel spreadsheet to ensure there are no errors.
