running into double nested flat-array-non-unique-keys issue - unsure how to approach

[stan-dot]

yeah need to just fix it debugging closely the variable state

[stan-dot]

from discussion with @iain-hall - replicating the GDA- conforming is not the expedient thing to do, yet the idea of a modifiable parameter is good. this could be made to do this for blueapi scan parameters

[stan-dot]

we could hard-code spectroscopy scan parameters schemas and then create the scans.

What is the scan type that is usually done with gda-long-scan spreadsheet view?

if we make the equivalent for blueapi then we can make it looooooooong next

@iain-hall please help with this, we could write a plan into https://github.com/DiamondLightSource/spectroscopy-bluesky to do this

[stan-dot]

from discussion: many different scans can be inside the spreadsheet view: xanes, qexads, xafs.

Different kinds of scans can be written inside one bluesky plan for the future really.

[stan-dot]

the answer for now seems to not do those long scans on the UI level, as that logic can be on the plan level, and the syntax and support is better there. We don't want to put much custom logic into the queue system.
