Batch editing a particular value

Note - I was able to successfully batch edit the observations by doing several smaller portions at a time. Problem solved.

Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.): I was able to edit all of my observations tagged JAX EH, but for some reason have not been able to batch edit all of my observations tagged JAX BA. , I select “more fields”.
Am I trying to batch edit too many at one time, or is it something else?

Step 1: Under Edit Observations, I search tag “JAX BA”, “select all”, and then “edit all”.

Step 2: I select “view more” under “Batch Operations”

Step 3: Under “Add a field” I select “Interaction->Visited flower of” .

Step 4: Under species I select Bidens alba.

Step 5: I select Apply Fields, and scroll down to select Save All.

What happens after step 5? Do you see an error message? The Flickr URL in your post leads to a nonexistant photo.

I broke it up into several smaller number of observations, and was able to successfully batch edit all of the observations that way.

Yeah the batch editor is pretty old and can’t handle a large number of observations, so I suspect that was the issue.
