i’m not sure logging a bug will get anything fixed faster. i get the sense that life lists are just known to be a bit buggy and that they’re just not as high priority as some other things right now. all i know other than that is that reapplying rules and reloading (in that order) seems to update my list.
there are lots of other discussions in the forum that touch on problems with life lists. for example: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/missing-observations-in-life-list/4186.
