Reflectometry 3.1.1 issue to investigate - Possible defect

[Owen Arnold]

See below. This is probably due to changes made to Stitch1D. I'm confident that changes made to Stitch1D and Stitch1DMany were for the better, but it could be due to auxiliary workspaces not sitting around in the ADS. Needs investigation in any case.

Hi Owen,

3.1.1 seems to have broken a previously working script on the line

DataOut=CloneWorkspace(GroupWorkspaces([nIp, nIa]))

The error dump is included below.  

This is part of the polarization corrections that I coded to test ReflectometryReductionOneAuto and may be obsolete by now.  Do you have a replacement/ workaround/ fix? 

Many thanks,  
Tim

RuntimeError: Some invalid Properties found

I have spoken to Martyn about this. This is because the python API seems to be 100% pythonic, but actually isn't. A better description is here. ​http://trac.mantidproject.org/mantid/ticket/9111
