Topic: Adding a new Determination

I have quite a few Taxon Occurrences (for several species) that require a re-determination and have their associated Obs Key for each species (list). I wish to hold onto the current determination, but want to add a 'New/Correct Species', Determiner, Role, Type and Date, and make this the preferred.

The 'new species name' will change, but Determiner, Role, Type and Date will be the same for all for the re-determinations.

All help appreciated.

Re: Adding a new Determination

Hi

Start with a spreadsheet with the obs key and  columns for the new data.  The species name will be OK, but if you have the key this would be better. A Batch Update can be used to make the changes. There may be an existing one which will  do the job, but I need to check this out.

Was wondering if you have had the opportunity to consider further? Thanks

Re: Adding a new Determination

It will probably need to be a new batch update. What fields have you in your spreadsheet

I have, Current Species Name, Revised Species Name, Determiner, Role, Type and Date. Need the Revised Species Name to be extracted from from the 'Lichens and Lichenicolous Fungi BLS checklist'. Cheers

Sorry, also have the Obs Key for each.
