Imported reference format causing issues for FlyBase annotation linkouts

[hattrill]

When we have imported existing FB annotations, they are associated with the references format in our gene_association.fb file which have the FlyBase reference DBxref pipe-separated from the PMID or DOI or GO_REF.

e.g.
FB:FBrf0131396|PMID:11086999
FB:FBrf0159398|GO_REF:0000015
FB:FBrf0039416|DOI:10.1007/BF00127499

This is causing some downstream issues in the pathway viewer

e.g. http://noctua.geneontology.org/workbench/noctua-alliance-pathway-preview/?model_id=gomodel:6796b94c00004884

Clicking on publication icon for mal MF:

generates this http://flybase.org/reports/FBrf0238243%20|%20PMID:29491838.html which cannot be resolved by FlyBase.

So......
We will change our GAF to just have one non-FBrf ref (PMID, DOI, GO_REF) but this is going to take sometime to filter through (as we are days away from a new release and too late to change) - probably ~3 months before those annotations can be accessed to build models. And, in the meantime we can make sure to edit refs as we make new models so we just point to one ref. (tagging @rozaru)

But, we have existing models with this ref format - too many to fix manually. We would like to request a bulk fix at your end and replace the piped-string with just the PMID, DOI, GO_REF for our existing models (regardless of state).

Can this be done?
(tagging @vanaukenk as I know she has suggested the one ref only in the GAF before, so might be interested in our plight!)
