Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.):

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
4
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

Hi, thank you for reporting this bug. You mentioned that is happens infrequently and I can’t replicate it as of right now. I will note this an an issue in case it gets reported again. Do remember any details about your internet connectivity when this occured?

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.
