What happened? With new new 10.8.1 update we are seeing some inconsistency with the way the species_subpecies (Encounter.specificEpithet) is required/recognised. The new bulk import table requires the species_subspecies with an underscore separator (it used to be a space only). This is fine, but on corrected upon import, if annotation needs to be added manually, the species is not recognised despite displayed correctly with underscore in the encounter. We must re-assign the species in the encounter in order to add manual annotation.
This has been flagged by a couple of different users.
What did you expect to happen? Consistently recognise the species_subspecies naming. Perhaps in some part of the code a space is still encoded rather than an underscore? I’m happy either way, just need one for consistency.
What are some steps we could take to reproduce the issue?
you can see with this encounter Wildbook for Giraffe
Species_species correct in encounter, if you try to add new annotation not able to without altering species again
