 From Version 26.2.0.00_RSH-FS_28.05.26, by default the Upload functionality will "skip" structures that are deemed to be invalid. The advantage of this is that if a structure file containing invalid structures is submitted, the valid structures can be submitted to the Registry without the invalid structures preventing this.  There are 2 types of invalidity check performed in the FMR:

		+	===Submitting Invalid Structures===
		+	From Version 26.2.0.00_RSH-FS_28.05.26, by default the Upload functionality will "skip" structures that are deemed to be invalid. The advantage of this is that if a structure file containing invalid structures is submitted, the valid structures can be submitted to the Registry without the invalid structures preventing this. There are 2 types of invalidity check performed in the FMR:
		+
		+	* Missing cross-references - where a structure refers to another structure that does not exist in either the Registry, nor the structure file itself.
		+	* Failing business validation - where a structure is invalid against the schema. For example, submitting partial structures, or the submission of a DataConstraint with Role specified as 'Actual' which is not supported.
		+
		+	Structures that are not covered by this are structures that cannot be constructed from the submitted file, for example due to invalid XML.
		+
		+	When a structure file is submitted with invalid structures, the submission report is shown as usual, along with a warning message and an extra button is also displayed ('View Invalid Structures'). Clicking this button will display a modal stating the structures that have failed validation and their reason for failure.
		+
		+	Please remember that the Registry enforces structural integrity and if a valid structure is invalidated by one of its descendants, it can not be loaded and will be deemed invalid. For example: a Dataflow that refers to a Data Structure that refers to a Concept Scheme which has an invalid reference (e.g. a Concept refers to a Codelist that does not exist), the Registry will prevent any of those structures being loaded. All failing structures would be listed in the validation report. This is illustrated in the example below, where a structure file was loaded which contains 2 Codelists, 3 Concept Schemes, 1 DataStructure and 1 Dataflow. One of the Concept Schemes references an invalid Codelist which is referenced by the DataStructure and Dataflow, thus these structures are not considered valid and can not be loaded until a change is made to the Concept Scheme with the invalid reference.
