I’m not completely sure this is a bug but sometimes I find these strange placeholders.

Just to confirm - you’re referring specifically to the presence of HTML code in the placeholder right?
Definitely odd!
Yes that’s what I mean

Thanks!
I see them regularly, thought it was intended.

is that actually what we normally think of as a placeholder? this is the observation: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/50289169. in the english version of the observation, the text in the parentheses is the scientific name for the class.
I think so, not sure why this html is displaying, but looks like Nicolás hadn’t made his ID yet in the screenshot.

ok. the text matches the text you get when you search for a taxon, but i’m not sure how that ends up in the placeholder:
UPDATE: it happens in the EDIT screen, if you click on the “use as a placeholder” text instead of the actual taxon entry:
so i guess there’s a small bug on that screen, but it’s sort of user error, too.

Was not sure and made a screendump but not a bug report…
