[BUG] Adding assay performer fails and argument -s is irritating

[andreaschrader]

Describe the bug

When registering an assay performer, the argument -a is not recognized.

arc a person register -s MY_STUDY -a MY_ASSAY -l LASTNAME -f FIRSTNAME

and

arc a person register-a MY_ASSAY -l LASTNAME -f FIRSTNAME

do not work:

ERROR: ERROR: unrecognized argument: '-a'.

When reading the help, it says --assayidentifier or -s. This is irritating. However I executed this as well.

arc a person register -s MY_ASSAY -l LASTNAME -f FIRSTNAME

Start processing command with the arguments:
Address:Field ""
Affiliation:Field ""
AssayIdentifier:Field "MY_ASSAY"
Email:Field ""

FirstName:Field "FIRSTNAME"
LastName:Field "LASTNAME"
MidInitials:Field ""

Moreover, the assay performer fields in the isa.assay.xlsx file remain empty and nothing is added to the isa.investigation.xlsx file.

Expected behavior
arc a person register -a MY_ASSAY -l LASTNAME -f FIRSTNAME

with
--assayidentifier or -a to pass the assay identifier

and with the information being added to the isa.assay.xlsx file as well as to the isa.investigation.xlsx file.

OS and framework information (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS
• OS Version: Ventura 13.5.1
• ARC Commander Version: v0.5.0

Ah okay I see, the short-hand flag is of course flat out wrong and needs to be updated.

We're currently working on integrating the new back-end https://github.com/nfdi4plants/ARCtrl into the ArcCommander (It is also the back-end for the ARCitect). This should also fix many of the issues the ArcCommander has, as the ARCtrl is already well tested.
Just as a heads-up.
