Description

Label a supplied sample return, destruction or retention preference.

Research records distinguish a participant's stated preference, a recorded permission assertion, version dates and professional roles. A label does not authenticate consent or authority, while travel minutes and compensation shares capture only selected aspects of burden or payment. Ethical interpretation requires the surrounding circumstances and evidence.

Label a supplied sample return, destruction or retention preference.

When to use this tool

Use Sample Return Destruction Preference Code when you already have recordId, recordedPreference and need to label a supplied sample return, destruction or retention preference.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter recordId, recordedPreference. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read label. Use the output convention below.

Require nonempty recordId and one recordedPreference from return, destroy, retain, unspecified; append it in square brackets.1

  "input": {

    "recordedPreference": "return"

  }
}

Limitations and assumptions

  • A recorded preference is not proof of informed consent, legal authority, feasible disposition or completion of that action.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Review original consent, preference, version and role records with the applicable oversight process. Evaluate understanding, voluntariness, scope and actual circumstances rather than treating a local flag, date gap or financial fraction as an ethical determination.
