When creating a shipment, Sending Site is a required field. The user has the option to select any system-wide Site from the dropdown menu as the Sending Site for the specimen(s) to be shipped. Would it make sense to have the Sending Site default to the Collection Site for the specimen(s)? In our most common workflows, the specimen(s) to be shipped all originate from the same Collection Site. I wonder, though, if there are any OpenSpecimen users who ship specimens from multiple Sites from within the same Specimen Cart, and if that is a common workflow.
@Matthew_Marcetich Should it be collection site or storage site? Finally it wont matter where it is collected originally when shipping what would matter is where is it physically stored at the moment. Isnt it?

I think storage site would make sense. The current usability issue is that all system-wide Sites appear in the Sending Site drop down menu, and many do not relate to the specimen being shipped. An example screenshot from v3.3 is attached for reference.
