Topic: Problem entering records for certain spp
Here is the scenario:
1) Entering a record via the enter single record form
2) go to add Dactylorhiza praetermissa
3) entry from "Recommended" list has no entry
4) Entry from "Preferred" list is suffixed '(can not expand)'
5) attempting to add the entry from preferred gives the error:
"The taxon selected is from a species list that is inappropriate for data entry purposes. Please choose a taxonomic
checklist to select the taxon from" (BTW the list it was going to use was the "_VASCULAR PLANTS...")
6) the "Unrestricted" list has no entry, only the hybrids, even though by hand I can find D.praetermissa on the Recorder 3.3 list
It appears to be impossible to add a record for D.praetermissa, searching on common name is equally problematic
I did manage to create the record by crating a record for D.occidentalis (adj sp in the list), then editing the completed record and changing the determination to D.praetermissa by dragging it off the VASCULAR PLANT checklist!

Although I have given the current settings for our Recorder, I have no idea how long this problem has been present, because it only occurs with D.praetermissa in the Dactylorhiza group, I don't know how many other taxa are affected.
I've done a search on "*can not expand" and it runs to c180 entries, most of which appear to be higher taxa (subfam, gen, etc.), but this search is not reliable since D.praetermissa is not included!
