Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.): We come across an annotation while identifying, and that annotation persists onto the next or several subsequent observations we are identifying. Have noticed it only with annotation “Cannot be determined” for Alive or Dead.
A few days ago this happened and we wound up disagreeing on the votes and leaving comments for the annotator (“How can you say “cannot be determined” when the bird is clearly dead?” We noticed it was a bug and deleted the comments.). Today, we realized the bug was happening again because the “cannot be determined” annotation is persisting but there is a second Alive or Dead annotation field available and active (see screenshot above)!
We know the persisting annotation is a mirage, because the observation page itself shows no annotation at all for Alive or Dead (see below) (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/245128544):
