I’m trying to apply fields to subsets of my Observations. I can get as far as selecting the Observations, getting into Batch Edit, and filling out the Field. But when I click Apply Field, nothing happens.

Description of problem:
Here’s a step-by-step way to reproduce the problem:
- I select Edit Observations for my profile:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/xris
- I click Search to get to the criteria I need.
- For this example, I want to see for the text “on Erigeron” in the Description. The correct list of Observations is displayed:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/xris?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=%22on+Erigeron%22&search_on=description&quality_grade=any&reviewed=&geoprivacy=&identifications=any&captive=&place_id=&swlat=&swlng=&nelat=&nelng=&taxon_name=&taxon_id=&day=&month=&year=&order_by=observations.id&order=desc&rank=&hrank=&lrank=&taxon_ids%5B%5D=&d1=&d2=&created_on=&site=&tdate=&list_id=&filters_open=true&view=map
- I click Batch Edit, Select All, deselect/uncheck anything not from this year, then click Edit Selected:

- I click Batch Operations to expand the list of things to edit for all the observations.
- I click More Fields to show everything.
- Finally, I can click Add a Field. I select and fill out the Field I want.
- When I click Apply fields, which shows a down-arrow to apply itself to ALL the Observations, nothing happens to any of them.
