@melonora @giovp I realized that if we force instance_key to be an int we need to update the storage format because some technologies, in particular Xenium, relies on having instance_key as string. I would therefore, unless this leads to problems in napari-spatialdata, etc, to keep allowing strings for instance_key and eventually change this in the future, when the versioning of the data format is improved and we can provide a migration tool for the data.
