Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.): I’ve been annotating Lepidopterans for months and occasionally come across the inability to add a life stage annotation, such as in this linked observation. I can usually get around it by adding the life stage annotation, then adding another annotation (e.g. Alive or Organism) and the life stage field then populates with another user’s annotation (as in, they had annotated it in the past but something happened where it didn’t register until I added an annotation for another field). This is the first observation I’ve come across where my work-around didn’t work. I’ve tried both in the Identify tab and on the observation page.

Step 1: Attempt to add ‘larva’ annotation

Step 2: Fail

Ah, this bug again. See here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/unable-to-add-annotation-to-a-sighting/57569.
