All IDs on this Observation are Maverick

On this Observation: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/157718055

There are only two IDs, both are Pseudacris regilla and both were “added as part of a taxon merge.” The taxon merge happened two years ago, so there should be no waiting for things to rectify needed at this point, but the community taxon is still listed as Pseudacris sierra, even though the observation has reached RG as P. regilla. As a result, both (all) of the IDs are marked as Maverick.

I added and deleted an ID and it reset the community taxon. Thanks for letting us know - hopefully it’s the result of a bug that has been since fixed. Please share if you see this still happening.

There are several more examples of the same problem, resulting from the same taxon swap, here: https://www.inaturalist.org/identifications?user_id=dlevitis&category=maverick

Edit: There are 23 pages of Maverick IDs for P. regilla and I suspect that most of them are the same problem: https://www.inaturalist.org/identifications?&category=maverick&taxon_id=24259
