Adding an identification: "You don't have permission to do that"


[link to observation removed by mod since blocking is involved]

I’m trying to add an identification to this observation, and I get a notice saying that I don’t have permission to do that

why does it say this? I’ve never seen this before

I think I have been blocked by the observer for some reason

Always a pleasant thing to discover. Especially when you have no clue why. Been there!
