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

It’s since been resolved but I’m curious as to how it happened to begin with. I was going to go through the casual grade human observations, since everything that is IDed as a human is automatically casual. Before I went over to check the box for “causal” and it was still on “needs ID”, an observation came up that was IDed as a human but was at “needs ID” still. I added an agreeing ID and it’s casual now. But why was it ever needs ID? It was labeled as human already.

I included screenshots of the IDs present while I came cross it, the settings I had when the observation came up and also the evidence of it showing up with those settings. I don’t have an image of it saying “needs ID” because I added an agreeing ID right away and didn’t think about how odd it was that it was at that grade until after I had done so.

It can be one of those instances where casual mark is added, but not active until you do something with observation, curious to see if it was shown in DQA.

It said “needs ID” for the quality grade in the DQA. I wasn’t aware of the bug/delay you mentioned though, so maybe that was all it was.

Yeah, potentially the observation didn’t get properly reindexed, or there was a delay.
