Topic: annoying error adding records
since updating to 6.25 we have found an extremely strange inconsistent behaviour after adding records
In the example below the records were added to Recorder via a record card "Enter Species for a place" - when the records were checked in the main panel there were several duplicates (this should be impossible using a record card because you can't select the same species twice). First time this happened my colleague deleted one of the duplicates, which resulted in an error message gist being "Record does not exist" followed by BOTH occurrences disappearing (together with other unrelated occurrences).
Second time I checked, to find both occurrences have the same unique identifier (see attached image) - the last time this happened I found taxon occurrences with two determinations of which BOTH were set as preferred (which was easy to rectify) as you can see in the image, there is only one determination in this case.
Since starting this e-mail we've got another doubling by using the "add" button on the main window.
On creating a report there are no duplications, so it only appears to affect the main window, but in a list of 81 species entered via the Record Card, there were only 5 doubling ups! with no obvious pattern!
