Can you describe what the issue is you’re experiencing? I matched two encounters of unnamed sperm whales in the caribbean:

Can you provide steps on how to reproduce what you’re experiencing? When I selected our next catalogue number of 6508 it merged these encounters with encounters of northern bottlenose whales off Canada also named 6508
Can we please split these two encounters off to a “new individual” sperm whale in the caribbean
If this is a bulk import report, send the spreadsheet to services@wildme.org with the email subject line matching your bug report

Hi @ShaneGero
I removed the IDs from these two encounters and created a new one for 6508 as a sperm whale.
I’m not sure how to re-create this issue to try and prevent it in the future. Did you assign the new ID from the match page for manually add it in the Identity section of the Encounter page? If this ID was assigned from the match page, did you use the ID Flukebook suggested or enter your own? Or did you select an existing individual from the match results?
Hi Anastasia,
I added a name at the match page. I did not use the suggested ones I typed in my own. It wouldn’t let me match them together without a name, as the original encounter in 2022 did not get a “name” assigned, it was still “unassigned”. So I didn’t choose from the list, I gave a new one in the box provided.

Thanks for the context! I’ll let you know if I have any additional questions while I work on this.
