Q: How can I update the feature location of a CDS feature?

How can I update the feature location of a CDS feature?

If you try and update the location of a CDS feature where there is already a translation qualifier present, you will note that the 'Update feature' button is greyed out:

This is because the translation qualifier value is dependent upon the span of residues specified in the feature location.

In order to update the feature location:

1. Double-check that the checkbox for "Automatically add a translation qualifier when a CDS feature is created" is selected
2. Edit the CDS feature by selecting the blue edit pencil
3. Delete the translation qualifier using the trash can icon
4. Edit the CDS feature location
5. Select 'Update feature'
