Place_admin1_name & place_admin2_name are empty in csv-export

Bug Reports

Hi all,

I am frequently using csv-export of data for further processing. Since mid-October the fields place_admin1_name & place_admin2_name which are generated automatically using GADM borders are empty in csv files.

Platform (Website): https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/export

Browser, if a website issue (Firefox, Chrome, etc): all available browsers

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

Step 2: no data for this fields (they were always with automatically generated data until October)

not sure if it’s related, but admin levels 1 and 2 were changed to 10 and 20 recently.

i see that the export offers a place_state_name and place_county_name, which i would have thought were equivalent to admin levels 1 and 2. if those don’t provide equivalent data, maybe they should?

@apseregin – i believe there’s been a fix deployed for this issue. if you haven’t already, you may want to check to see if things work ok for you now.
