Counties cannot be added to Project or selected in Identify

Bug Reports

Another example is Lincoln Co., Colorado (place ID=249). It cannot be called up in Identify by typing it into the place box (not under Filters, either). It can be called up in Explore, though, as with the previous example. This is another county name that repeats itself over a dozen times in various U.S. states. Not sure whether that is a contributing factor that causes this bug to occur.

Workaround is editing the URL by inserting the place ID manually:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?place_id=249

Nonetheless, it is clearly a bug that should be fixed. I am sure there are other examples.

(I merged this with an existing report that has the same root cause.)

There are about 160 counties with this same problem. Last I heard, the suggested solution from staff is to ask individually to have it fixed when you encounter one of the problem counties.

That should work, yes.

Thanks for your help with this issue!
