PioApocalypse	820337c06e	fixes category title for materials: "Substrate", not "Substrate batch" "Substrate" is the title of the category of substrate items "Substrate batch" is a key in a sample's dictionary	2026-02-12 15:16:35 +01:00
PioApocalypse	5a605038df	fixes small residual from copy-paste in call_material_from_elabid the fix changes "sample_data" - which was residual from copy-pasting the call_entrypoint... function and therefore undefined - with "material_data" which is very well defined in the previous line	2026-02-12 15:09:59 +01:00
PioApocalypse	fd4c3b718a	creates chain functions to expand the dataset from the entrypoint	2026-02-12 14:58:48 +01:00
