Thanks Anastasia, I now remember this was an issue and users got around it by simply adding the species “Giraffa tippelskirchi”. Moving forward we will have much more data on the subspecies Giraffa tippelskirchi tippelskirchi AND Giraffa tippelskirchi thornicrofti so it is important we can distinguish. Please can we then add the below missing subspecies to the list? The full list should be as follows:
Giraffa tippelskirchi
Giraffa tippelskirchi thornicrofti
Giraffa tippelskirchi tippelskirchi
Giraffa giraffa
Giraffa giraffa angolensis
Giraffa giraffa giraffa
Giraffa reticulata
Giraffa camelopardalis
Giraffa camelopardalis camelopardalis
Giraffa camelopardalis antiquorum
Giraffa camelopardalis peralta
@jason for visibility
I know there have been some complexities in the past for subspecies support in Wildbook, so I’ll discuss with the team and let you know what I find out.
Just adding this here as a quick reference for which species are already in GiraffeSpotter vs which aren’t
Hi @CourtneyMarne
Giraffa tippelskirchi tippelskirchi has been configured in GiraffeSpotter. Can you try your bulk import again and let me know if you run into any other issues?

Thanks so much, I tried it and it ran perfectly. I’ve asked the user who was struggling to try their upload again. I’ll add here if any lingering issues. Thanks again

Thanks again @Anastasia, all is good but tippelskirchi now appears as as IA class option in the drop down selection when manually adding an annotation. Perhaps it could be removed to avoid any confusion for users?
Thanks for letting me know! I’m meeting with the devs shortly and will bring it up then.
