Topic: Orphan datasets?

When filtering occurrence records by dataset I am sometimes presented with un-named options like dr752, dr759, dr235, ...

If I look at these records I see datasets 'BLS Lichen Database: English churchyards', 'BLS Lichen Database: England', 'BLS Lichen Database: Scotland', ...

However, datasets by these exact names cannot be found. There are almost identical datasets with different data resource ids.

It looks as if the original dataset entries have been deleted but not their occurrences, leaving the occurrences orphaned. (And duplicated by the replacement datasets, I wonder?)

Re: Orphan datasets?

I think this happened because the old and new BLS datasets were both initially uploaded to the Atlas. Presumably the old datasets were deleted but left their codes behind.  Good to see that's been rectified though!
