Description of problem:
Step 1: Add or update a conservation status, save changes
Step 2: Other statuses now incorrectly show as updated by you (see example link above)
Step 3: …profit?
Issues still persists, see this taxon updated today, only the fields for the Queensland status were changed yet both show as updated
Tried this a few times on our test server and couldn’t replicate. @lawnranger exactly what did you change for Dipodium punctatum?
Dipodium punctatum has two statuses one each for Queensland (QLD) and South Australia (SA) . I changed the following QLD fields: Status, URL and IUCN Equivalent. I did not update any fields for the SA status.
Caleana major and Caleana minor are other similar examples, when updating the (now) ‘Queensland, AU - Least concern’ status I made certain I only changed fields for that status, my cursor never entered any of the fields for the other statuses.
This is happening to me today. I’ve been adding statuses to pest/exotic species in Australia that are threatened in their native range, so that I can remove the obscuration for the Australian records, and it’s marking me as having updated the existing statuses that I didn’t touch.
E.g.: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/18904-Psittacula-eupatria
Weirdly for this one, it only marked me as having changed one of the statuses that I didn’t touch, not both
more examples where I’m erroneously listed as an updater

but here’s one where it didn’t mark me as updating an existing status:

Having the same issue as well. Here is one example:

Before making a change:
Thanks, we’re looking into a potential fix.
Just rolled out a fix to prevent this from occurring in the future. It won’t fix conservations statuses that are currently incorrectly marked, though.
Closing, as this should be fixed.
