What happened?
I can’t use the “Add to a existing individual ID” function. The field autocomple with some individuals that I have, but some simply do not appear.
What did you expect to happen?
I have this encounter c5d2140d-c383-4b5c-9d9c-01adb57a4474and I want to use “Add to a existing individual ID” and set as MdT617, like this encounter of the same individual f80a47cf-492f-457b-87fe-d58ba08dfbdabut I don’t’ have this individual option.
And all other individuals that start with “MdT611” are also missing. This problem also occurs in many other individuals, and the options are missing. Like 612 to 613, 614 to 619, 150 to 153 and 155 to 159
I tried removing the ID from " c5d2140d-c383-4b5c-9d9c-01adb57a4474" and manually creat the code MdT617 on the two individuals. The system accepts but does not show both individuals on the “Marked Individual MdT617” page. Instead, two separate “Marked Individual MdT617” pages are created, one for each encounter.
What are some steps we could take to reproduce the issue?
If this is a bulk import report, send the spreadsheet to services@wildme.org with the email subject line matching your bug report
I was able to replicate the issue on my side, but I need more time to understand why some turtles aren’t appearing when you search for them by name. I was able to find a workaround in the meantime:
For MdT617, I was able to use its unique user ID (UUID) to get the option to appear in the Identity menu. I copied the ID from the URL of its Individual page (highlighted below)
IoT isn’t turning up any duplicates via an Individual Search. I’m not sure if that’s because you’ve already merged them or because all Individual searches are being impacted by this. We do have an FAQ on merging individuals if you have the links to those duplicate individual pages you accidentally made for MdT617.
I’ll follow up when I have more info about why some turtles aren’t appearing when you search for them by name.
