Step 1:
I have synthesized with some stopps due to failures and restarting the synchronization
Step 2:
I got an identification for some observations including one that then seems to have a name but no upload date and no ID.
Step 3:
It seems to be a rare edgecase but I had a similar experience some weeks ago

Currently I am holding back a bunch of without syncing (so as to proceed after the weekend)
5
Jumping from the app into the browser leads to observations with null observers
6
Searching the observation in the browser leads to seemingly reasonable result in the link above

I do not remember any specific network issue. I did the upload with my regular internet connections, which does not have specific issues
iNat next has it’s own connections issues. A regularly do bulk uploads. In most cases I produce some upload failures. So have to stop and restart almost every bulk upload one or a few times.

In this case the issue was solved with one of the next uploads. (possibly the next)
