+# Rails task to update the id_sample_lims column based on the name column in samples table for samples
+# Why is this task needed?
+# The id_sample_lims column in the samples table is used to store the ID of the sample in Traction.
+# However, this is clashing with IDs in the sample table in the warehouse, causing problems for NPG.
+# NPG relies on the uniqueness of these IDs as they use Sequencescape IDs.
+# To resolve this issue, we need to update the id_sample_lims column to the value of the name column for samples where id_lims is "Traction".
+namespace :sample_table do
+  # This rake task updates the id_sample_lims column to the value of the name column
+  # for samples where id_lims is "Traction". If the name is already present in the
+  # id_sample_lims column, the sample will be skipped.
+  #
+  # Usage: bundle exec rake sample_table:update_id_sample_lims
+  #
+  # The task performs the following steps:
+  # 1. Fetch all samples where id_lims is "Traction".
+  # 2. For each sample, check if the name is already present in the id_sample_lims column.
+  # 3. If the name is not present, update the id_sample_lims column to the value of the name column.
+  # 4. Skip the sample if the name is already present in the id_sample_lims column.
