Sleepy Orange - No Scientific Name

Description of problem**:

Step 1: Exported a data list of my records including the scientific_name field

Step 2: Opened the data list in excel and filtered the data by blank scientific_name and found that all Sleepy Orange (Taxon 67439) records have no scientific names in the data export. I don’t know if this is taxon wide, but I have records in three states spread across the USA.

Summary: I exported a list of my observations with only a few criteria to reduce the data file size and included scientific_name to have a field that I thought would always be populated. That is true for the rest of my data set, but for all my records of Sleepy Orange Butterflies there is no scientific name in the data export. I almost posted this in General, but settled on Bug Reports. If this isn’t a bug but due to something else like a taxa dispute I am sorry for dropping it in the wrong place and please move it to General.

Someone had previously marked the name as “false”, not sure if that causes it to be dropped from an export. I marked it as “true”. Want to try your export again?

That appears to have corrected it.
