Topic: Taxon rank is missing

Hi,
we have upgraded to the most recent dictionary and everything seemed fine. Now we want to add some local statuses to some species. When we try that we get for two taxa the message "The Taxon Rank is required. Please select a value." It focusses then on the drop down with the taxon ranks, but doesn't let me select anything. That happens only for a few species (Ulmus plotii, Carex demissa x hostiana). We try to update the statuses in the Master Checklist. Who knows what happens here? What can we do?

Thanks,
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang

I think that might be better directed to Mike Weideli in the Record6 forum. I checked those species here and the rank seems fine in the UKSI. :)

Best wishes,

Re: Taxon rank is missing

hi

Unsure about this and I will need to investigate. The rank is not changed during dictionary processing so it may be a bug in the allocation of Status.
