Here’s the original thread where I was discussing the problems in duplicating observations https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/incorrect-ids-added-automatically-when-duplicating-an-existing-observation/8903. At that point, I had no idea what photo file names even were, let alone that it was considered a feature not a bug to have identifications I didn’t make attributed to me on my observations. I just remembered that the quirk about the duplication process was that I would correct the ID on the original observation, but then when I duplicated the observation the new observation would have the incorrect ID on it instead of either the corrected ID I had just made on the original one or a blank (I think a blank is the usual when duplicating observations?).
