Hello!

During editing of observation, created by mobile application I’ve got the following error"

  • date observed cannot be greater than the date the observation was added

The example of observation.

I haven’t change the observation date. What is the problem?

Thanks,

Your submitted date has a time of 3:26AM which is before the observation time of 2:06 PM on the same day. If the submitted time is 3:26PM it will work.

OK, but how this could happen? I see that sometimes mobile application possibly mix AM and PM.

Just speculation, but this could happen if there was a miscommunication of time zones between the mobile device (observation time) and the server (submitted time). However, that shouldn’t happen with modern devices.
