Question: ID name

What Wildbook are you working in? Internet of Turtles

We once mistakenly merge 2 individuals that are different. To correct it, we change the ID name of one of the turtle so that they won’t be the same individual. However, after changing the ID, the merge log cannot be deleted properly because the “Other values” field still remains and cannot be removed.

How can we remove the “Other values” entry so that the log can be deleted? It’s not a big issue but would be nice to correct it.

Hi @giliconservation

The Other Values can’t be edited. It’s a historical record of any ID changes that occurred on that individual.

If you scroll down to the Researcher comments section of the Individual page, you can add a note there that the merge record with the previous ID was made in error and later corrected.
