Assign species to existing species Complex

Hi, I’m trying to figure out how to assign species to the species Complexes I created in my specialty, the donaciine leaf beetles. They are called Species Groups in my publications, containing 4-7 species each, in the Nearctic, and some Palaearctic taxa are clearly in these groups also, imo. Anyway, I created them in iNat because many observations cannot be assigned more specifically and putting them here advances the cause. My problem is how to assign the included species to their Complex? Have skimmed through the Forum hoping to find my answer, and the Curator Guide doesn’t help me, and I’m not seeing a logical path in editing the taxa themselves. One example is the Donacia subtilis complex, containing D subtilis, D fulgens, D confluenta and D tuberculifrons.
Thanks, in advance!

Go to the species, for example Donacia subtilis, curation, edit taxon, and then in the field of the parent replace genus Donacia by “complex Donacia subtilis” (don’t know the exact wording, my settings are in Spanish).

Don’t include the word “complex”. Searching scientific names anywhere in the site doesn’t work if you include the rank.

This means the species will also come up, so you need to select the right one. There can be weird issues with trying to create a duplicate name of another rank, but I’m not sure that’s exactly what is being described here.

If searching for it doesn’t work, it should be possible to just copy and paste the taxon-ID into the field.

My comment wasn’t entirely clear. As mentioned, search the field of the parent with Donacia subtilis. This finds two taxa:
Complex Donacia subtilis
Donacia subtilis
In this case select the complex, and then save the changes (at the bottom of the page).

Thank you!! That did it. That looked like the logical solution, but I didn’t see the Complex name and wasn’t sure it’d produce the right result. Problem solved, now I can go through all the complexes and fix them
