Description of problem:
This observation has three identifications, all of which agree, but it is “stuck” and won’t recognize a community ID. Why?

I agreed and it is now research grade, but it should have been research grade before. I don’t know why.

If you delete your ID, does it go back to Needs ID?

Nope, it stayed at research grade now. Puzzling.

Before your ID was added, when I marked/unmarked something in the DQA, it didn’t change from Needs ID to RG. So it doesn’t seem to have been fixed solely by reindexing.

Same issue on this ob - https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/67699167

That one’s due to someone marking Yes under this Data Quality Assessment item:

Aha! Thank you! And I thought I’d checked all the places where the problem could have been ;-)

The original observation is now RG, so I’m not sure if we’ll be able to troubleshoot further. @wdvanhem if it happens again, maybe send the observation URL straight to help@inaturalist.org?
