Everything is working perfectly fine now! Thank you for fixing it!

Another, just additional little thing is under
“Report an encounter” → " Do You Have Advanced Information?" → “Life stage”.
At the moment, you can only select: 1) Unknown, 2) Larve, 3) Post-metamorph, I assume for Salamandra. It would be great if you could indicate the life stage in 1) metamorph, 2) juvenile, 3) subadult and 4) adult for Bombina variegata.
This does not hurry as I am just working with Bulk Imports but would be great to have later on!

Hi, I just wanted to ask if there has been an update? Next weekend we have a workshop where we are presenting Wildbook to the German herpetology community and it would be great if life stages can be properly assessed for this.
If you are already working on it or are too busy, I am sorry to bother you. It would just be nice for the overall picture.
Wildbook only has a single set of life stages across all species. We can absolutely add these additional life stages, but my concern would be that they might start to be used in a mingled and confusing fashion if users don’t know which belongs to which.
One option would be to convert the life stages to have a species-specific prefix, like:
Hi @jason
Thanks for checking in!
I will talk to my colleagues about it, but I would be happy with that! I see the problem and I’m glad you have a solution directly.
I’ll get back to you as soon as I have confirmation!
After consulting, I can say that the above solution would work and we are more than happy to update the life stage!
Is it possible that the previous encounters, which were uploaded with bulk import, already have this assignment or would they have to be added manually?
I ask because these are persistent changes, and I would like final approval. Also please note that you will need to use exactly these values moving forward in bulk imports.
Hi @jason, thank you for getting back to this request.
On reflection, it is better to omit the stage “metamorph” as this could lead to confusion. Moreover let’s change “Bom: juvenile” to → “Bom: juvenil” (without the e at the end)
In addition, can we also add “Bom: unknown”?
Hi @Barbara.Caspers, do you also agree with those changes for salamandra?
Thank you for checking in again! It was decided that the term “metamorph” could lead to confusion and this was therefore taken out and the animals should be considered “juvenil”, for B. variegata at least. It would be perfect if these classified toads could be noted as “juvenil”. Otherwise I will follow up again.
For S. salamandra - @Barbara.Caspers: any advice on completing the set for Salamandra?
Dear JAson,
subadult is covered by post-metamorph. as soon as we can determine the sex (or as soon as any other can determine the sex), we know it is an adult, so in my opinion it is also covered by post-metamorph. Or would it be possible to add: Sal:adult?
Juvenile is covered by larvae.
so subadult and juvenile can be omitted. If possible add Sal: adult. if not omit it as well.
