Annotation options don't appear for some observations in the Android app

Like in this bug report? https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/annotation-fields-not-always-present-in-app/8243/10

Sort of. ‘Annotations’ was totally missing in some cases. It looks like there is a more recent report here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/annotation-options-do-not-update-to-match-observation-taxon-on-android/14646

I’ll upload some screenshots.

I thought about it some more and it may have started for me when I got on this morning (around 9:30am). I’ll take some screenshots and upload them here with URLs.

Yes, I have experienced this as well. Under the “Data Quality” meter, there is nothing to scroll down to. The whole “Annotations” section fails to appear. I consider that a distinct (though possibly related) issue to the one in my bug report. I haven’t paid close attention, but I think it exclusively happens after I make an ID.

Yeah, I thought it required an ID to be made, but it occurs even after only accessing the record, making zero changes/interactions, and then pressing back either by the button or by the back button on Android. Doesn’t happen when agreeing with or adding IDs on recent activity from other people’s IDs under ‘Activity’ > ‘My Content’.

Right, that’s exactly the same as what my screen shots on my bug report showed. Some had annotations completely missing, others didn’t:


Thanks, I can replicate. I’ll ask our developer about it.

OK, we’re working on a fix for the annotation issue, it will be out in a future update. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

Thank you, it seems to be fixed for the most part, I’ll reply here with some screenshots if I notice any annotation issues in the near future!
