Retest from comp 1

I switched over to comp2 yesterday and overall I found the system quite good with plenty of scope for improvement though, The only issue I had was retesting a jag that had been tested 2 days earlier and failed on comp1, when I entered the test number onto comp2 on his return it wouldnt recognise it. No matter what I tried. I decided to log it on as a full test and then checked to see if the failures had been done, (tyres) I then returned several minutes later and logged it off after adding a manual advisory that it was a retest from comp1 to comp2 and that was why it was only 10 minutes long etc, Although I had some difficulty doing this as the manual advisory section is a very picky git and only allows certain words but wont tell you what word it doesnt like!! Have I done the right thing or is there a better way of doing this to cover my ass for the short test time. I shouldnt have any more retests back from comp 1 now..Phew!!
