I tried to filter Unknowns that are at least a few weeks old in Identify. I selected the filter for Date Added and checked one month–December. There was a bird that I clicked on, first in Identify and then in View. In View I found out that the observation was added two days ago. So something seems wrong.
Thank you.
i think this was re-reported as https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/date-added-months-filter-not-working/17962, and a Github issue is being tracked over there. probably these 2 bug reports should be merged.
Platform (Android, iOS, Website): Website
App version number, if a mobile app issue (shown under Settings or About): N/A
Browser, if a website issue (Firefox, Chrome, etc) : Chrome
URLs (aka web addresses) of any relevant observations or pages: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?created_month=4&createdDateType=month
Screenshots of what you are seeing :
Description of problem: On the identify screen, the Months feature of the Date Added filter is not working. When you select a month, it does not filter based on that month (it ignores it). Note that it does add the parameters to the url.
Step 1:
Go to https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify
Step 2:
Click “Filters”
Step 3:
Click “More Filters”
Step 4:
Click “Months” under “Date Added”
Step 5:
Select “April”
(Note that it does not matter which month)
You will see that the url is now: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?created_month=4&createdDateType=month
Expected: Seeing observations that were uploaded in April (of any year)
Actual: Seeing observations that were uploaded most recently
Step 6:
refresh page
Expected: When looking at date added filter, I expect to see my previous entry selected in the UI
Actual: "Months is still selected, but when there was a single month selected, it did not repopulate the UI (url stayed correct)
Note: If there were multiple selections, they did repopulate correctly (I tried Jan - Mar) but it still ignored the filter.
Other things I tried: All other filters under “Date Added” seemed to work as expected.
I saw this was closed in github but I’m still noticing the issue. Is there a deployment schedule for the change? (Like do you deploy every other Thursday or something?)
