Notes From Nature Talk

Ornithological - text fields getting swapped/glitched?

  • Sylverone by Sylverone

    Somehow on my current (second) page, one of my rows got bugged. The data for the Scientific Name and Location have gotten mixed up in a weird way. It would be difficult to explain clearly, so here's a short video showing the bug in action:

    Probable cause:
    I was copying the data from the previous row to paste into the current row, but at some point my current row got messed up like this. Something about how I was flipping back and forth, maybe? Maybe there's a specific sequence of actions I did that causes it. I'll report here if I learn more.

    All I can say is that I hope the data is saved alright.

    Okay, I have managed to reproduce the bug - it occurs when you enter the Location information prior to the Scientific Name. For some reason the Location slides upward to be displayed in the Sci Name field, although the text entry boxes maintain the correct text.

    Hope this helps.

    Same happened to me, switching scientific name and batch information. Can you delete Lines after you create them?
