Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.): I tried to identify a flower, through the ‘identify’ tab, and when I saved the ID, it said it “failed to save record.” I tried to comment too, and it said the same thing, so I tried to go to the real observation by clicking on the unknown on top of the picture, and it gave me the Search Mole alert. I tried to replicate it with a different observation but it only does it with that certain observation. I don’t know if I can give steps to replicate it, sorry.

The user deleted the observation in between when you loaded the identify page and when you tried to add an ID. You can see they now have 0 observations:
