Hi @Anastasia,

I emailed the spreadsheet, but i think i found the issue.

I noticed that Arafura Sea and Bali Sea is shown as 6 and 7 on the bulk import, i submitted the bulk import here with 7 as the location ID and it shown as Bali Sea on the encounter pages.

Great catch, @albarra!

I checked the locationID.json file and I do see that we missed this during the code cleanup last year to make the location ID names readable in the drop-down menu:

{
	"name":"Indian Ocean", "id":"Indian Ocean",
	"defaultLatitude": -20.0,
	"defaultLongitude": 80.0,
	"locationID":[
		{"name": "Arabian Sea", "id":"Arabian Sea" },
		{ "name":"Bangladesh", "id":"BANGLADESH - West", "locationID":[] },
		{"name":"India","id":"India","locationID":[]},
		{"name": "Indonesia", "id": "Indonesia", "locationID":[
			{"name": "Andaman Sea", "id": "Andaman Sea" },
			{"name": "Arafura Sea", "id": "6" },
			{"name": "Banda Sea", "id": "Banda Sea" },
			{"name": "Bali Sea", "id": "7" },
			{"name": "Celebes Sea", "id": "Celebes Sea"  },
			{"name": "Ceram Sea", "id": "Ceram Sea" },
			{"name": "Flores Sea", "id": "Flores Sea" },
			{"name": "Halmahera Sea", "id": "Halmahera Sea" },
			{"name": "Java Sea", "id": "Java Sea" },
			{"name": "Molucca Sea", "id": "Molucca Sea" },
			{"name": "Philippine Sea", "id": "Philippine Sea" }
	] },

I’ve updated the code, so going forward you can just enter “Bali Sea” in your spreadsheet for Encounter.locationID. It will also display as Bali Sea in the drop-down menu when manually setting a location as well.
