Description
Compare recordId with parentId, require a nonblank trimmed reason for reasonPresent, a positive-length authorId for attributed, and editTimestamp at least originalTimestamp for chronological.
Good clinical practice record checks compare supplied versions, language labels, roles, dates, and source links. A local metadata match can reveal consistency but does not establish valid consent, competent authorization, or regulatory compliance.
Compare recordId with parentId, require a nonblank trimmed reason for reasonPresent, a positive-length authorId for attributed, and editTimestamp at least originalTimestamp for chronological.
When to use this tool
Use GCP Ecrf Edit Original Correction Link when you need a literal clinical-trial metadata consistency check.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter recordId, parentId, reason, authorId, originalTimestamp, editTimestamp. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read linked, reasonPresent, attributed, chronological. Inspect linked, reasonPresent, attributed, chronological before interpreting the associated values.

| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| recordId | Record Id | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| parentId | Parent Id | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| reason | Supplied explanatory text; presence does not verify its truth or adequacy. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| authorId | Author Id | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| originalTimestamp | Original Timestamp | Required. Finite number. |
| editTimestamp | Edit Timestamp | Required. Finite number. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| linked | Linked | Required. Boolean. |
| reasonPresent | Reason Present | Required. Boolean. |
| attributed | True for any positive-length authorId, including whitespace-only text. | Required. Boolean. |
| chronological | Chronological | Required. Boolean. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Whitespace-only author IDs count as attributed while reasons are trimmed. Flags are separate metadata checks, not an authenticated audit trail, identity verification, or evidence that an electronic case-report-form edit is compliant.
- 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.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
