Filed as WB-858. Basically, the manual annotation tool (still in beta) is letting you set an iaClass (step 2) that isn’t designed for matching:

wild_dog+tail_standard

We need to filter down to only those that are usable to you for matching:

identificationClass0=wild_dog
identificationClass1=wild_dog_standard
identificationClass2=wild_dog_tan
identificationClass3=wild_dog_dark
identificationClass4=wild_dog_puppy
identificationClass5=wild_dog_general
identificationClass6=wild_dog_ambiguous
identificationClass7=cheetah
identificationClass8=leopard

The workaround is to delete the new Encounter that represents the new manual annotation and then re-create it (from another Encounter with the same photo), using one of the values above.

We’ll follow up on WB-858 to limit the list to matchable values.

Thanks,
Jason

We believe this has been resolved. Fix is deployed to ACW. Thanks!
