Hi guys, first time posting on the forum here - I was adding annotations to some observations and somehow two copies of each were added to this observation: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/36090712 It was originally three of each but I removed the other two just to see what would happen an…

This one was fixed https://github.com/inaturalist/inaturalist/issues/2795

I ended up adding them once and then move on to the next obs, then after a series of them I recheck and see how it looks from id tab, if it’s wrong (multiple added) I go to the obs page and check it there, most of the time it’s right on the obs page, and it’s more likely annotations will be lost tha…

Yes, I can fix them manually. But I am not going to be eager to add annotations if I have to go back to recheck and correct them.

I tried a few more annotations, and was able to enter several with only one problem appearing. After entering annotations in several new observations using the Identify module, I went to one of the observations with duplicated attributes. I clicked on the X to remove a duplicate Life Stage attribute…

Another one: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/15022442

Noticed the same issue: If I add a second annotation while the first annotation is still being added (animated spinner), the first annotation appears to be lost, and I might be tempted to re-add it. However, if I reload the page, both annotations are present.

Another one,. Observation was added 3 days ago, so fairly recent: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/55982194 @jessicaleighallen , do you know if anything was happening when you annotated it?

I don’t explicitly remember this happening in the moment…but, I oftentimes have my annotations update slowly or revert back as if I had not added any at all. As for duplicating…that issue happens to me in comments more often than annotations but the second (repeat) comment usually disappears upon r…

[image] Star3: Another one,. Observation was added 3 days ago, so fairly recent: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/55982194 This one doesn’t have repeat annotations, at least that’s not what I see. It has two separate annotations with the same value. [image]

It previously did. I didn’t take a screen shot because I wasn’t expecting it to resolve itself (none of the others have).
