In which Wildbook did the issue occur?
GiraffeSpotter

I’ve completed a bulk import, but the on the sighting pages the group size, number adults, number adult females etc. are not shown.

Hi @FrederikeOtten

Can you email the spreadsheet for this bulk import to services@wildme.org so we can take a look?

Thanks for sending your spreadsheets! I’ll follow up as soon as I have an update.

Hey @FrederikeOtten, the first spreadsheet you sent is GS_bulkimport_ZMBLVNP_20250903, but the bulk import you asked about is for the sheet named GS_bulkimport_ZMBLVNP_20251016. Can you send me the correct spreadsheet for GS_bulkimport_ZMBLVNP_20250903 while I look into the other two you emailed about?

Quick update: This looks like a regression caused by our Wildbook update in June. When the ticket for this is ready, I’ll post a link to it here.

**Expected behavior** When a bulk import spreadsheet contains group size fields …for sightings, those numbers are reflected on the sighting page. **Current behavior** Group size fields are missing from the sighting page, even though they are validated during bulk import: - Occurrence.groupSize - Occurrence.numAdults - Occurrence.numAdultFemales - Occurrence.numAdultMales - Occurrence.numSubAdults - Occurrence.numSubFemales - Occurrence.numSubMales - Occurrence.numCalves **QA notes** These field were lost in Occurrence.java in the 6/4/2025 upgrade to Wildbook on the giraffe branch. Entries are sent to the back end: <img width="568" height="420" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2d3c6ae3-3370-4564-8a29-6dcc481cb944" /> <img width="350" height="430" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b208a33d-8202-4701-b20e-b0912cd79607" /> From @naknomum: > The bulk of these are giraffe-specific fields (e.g. numAdultX, numSubX) ... that is, these fields do not exist on the Occurrence object/db in any other wildbook (at least that i checked, i looked at zebra and carnivore, and flukebook). so that is part 1 of the problem. part 2 of the problem is these did make it in (probably via one of the giant lists of "all import fields") to the lists which did not get flagged as bad field however. so bulk-import does not properly complain about them. > so i guess the question amounts to, do we: > - add these giraffe-only fields to main and other wildbooks? > - add support to bulk-import to set them but only for giraffe? > - disable them in giraffe for real by throwing errors if they appear in bulk import? > (other) **Community link** https://community.wildme.org/t/group-size-number-adults-etc-not-shown-on-sighting-page/5221
