In which Wildbook did the issue occur? Flukebook
What operating system were you using? Windows 11
What web browser were you using? Latest Chrome
What is your role on the site? Researcher
What happened? Marked individuals are not showing the Project ID name that they are given when they are matched. The project name is correct in the metadata but the link for the marked individual shows a different name.
What did you expect to happen? The third column from the left would have all the correct project names.
What are some steps we could take to reproduce the issue?
Sometimes Flukebook would show the message âError updating encounterâ but it was not consistent with when the error would show up.
These are the links to the individuals that currently have the error.
There does not seem to be a pattern to when the error occurs. Today I have added new individuals to the catalogue and the name is correct, I have matched resightings and the project name has transferred to the new encounter with no problem, and I have matched a resighting and there has been an error (the last link above).
Best wishes, Ruth
Update: more of the matches are with the same problem;
When I click âconfirm actionâ for the resighted individual to add it to a marked individual, a message confirms that the update was successful, but the individual name is changed from the Project name that has already been given (e.g. WPA/PM-302) to the random name that you see.
Hi @ruth.wpa
Which project are these part of?
Nevermind, I found your project!
When you assigned marked individual IDs to these encounters, did you do it from the match page or did you update it manually from the Identity section of the encounter page?
Now you mention it, sometimes there would be an error when I tried to assign IDS on the match page, then I would update it manually from the Identity section of the encounter page.
Just to clarify: what you entered and saved for the ID on the encounter page was in the project name format (WPA/PM-###) but what it actually ended up displaying as was the long, alphanumeric string of characters?
Thank you! While I look into this, if you see the âError updating encounterâ message again while working on this project, can you share the match page link here and hold off on manually updating the ID on it so we can refer to it while testing?
Yes I can do that. Thank you!

Hi @ruth.wpa
One more question: when you were assigning IDs, were you creating new individuals or were you adding encounters to existing individuals?
I was adding encounters to existing individuals. I think I had one situation when creating a new individual with the action button on the matching page, that there was an error in updating. I left the project and continued with matches another day. However, when there was a resighting of that individual, I would need to assign an ID by adding the encounter to an existing individual.
Thank you! I hope to have an update for you soon.
