General research tag requirements at lab not allowing contribution with work parties, sometimes not collecting from storage either.

Multiplayer world server, only mods are the easy mining and woodcutting mods, laboratory was set up and set to allow everybody as a consumer. several research book projects were started there, and a work party was assigned to each. These were Advanced Cooking, Electronics, and Oil Drilling. There was also one Modern Geology research paper work order set up, but no work party for that one.

The work parties would not assign or allow contributions towards any of the general research categories (modern research tag, advanced research tag, basic research tag, etc). You could originally contribute them by putting them in a nearby chest with "everyone" listed as a consumer, which would not award any credit towards a work party, but eventually the lab stopped pulling from that chest as well for some reason, and won't acknowledge that it exists. Tried pulling a truck up nearby and linking the inventory, but it wouldn't see that either.

Main issue seems to be work parties at the lab with regard to contributing general research tags, very inconsistent results.
