I configured term lists to created a new measurement type called 'Atlas Status'. The measurement qualifier is 'Bird' and the measurement unit is of type text and confined to the following allowed values: 'Breeding possible', 'Breeding probable', 'Breeding proven', 'Migrant' or 'Summering'.

I use the import wizard to import a spreadsheet of values including a column for 'Atlas Status' each of whose cells has one of the five allowed values. On import this column is matched to 'Taxon Occurrence Data->Atlas Status of Bird'.

When 'Validate Columns' is clicked, the wizard reports errors for all the records with 'Migrant' or 'Summering' as their value and turns the corresponding cells red.

Okay, you may think that there is obviously some error - either the term lists have been set up incorrectly or there is a spelling error in the cells in the spreadsheet. However, all I have to do is move the mouse pointer over each of the red cells - without pressing any keys or mouse buttons - and the red cells magically turn white! When they are all done, the wizard reports that there are no validation errors!

Sadly the the wizard does not enable its next page button so I cannot procede with the import. I found a workaround which was to deliberately alter one of the values to an incorrect value before clicking the 'Validate Columns' button. Then after I click the button and wave the magic wand mouse cursor to remove the spurious 'incorrect' values, I can fix the one I deliberately altered and the next page button is enabled.

A strange feature of this phenomenon is that it happens on a partner's R6 installation, but on ours - which is set up in the same way - it works without problems.

The workaround is not a very convenient way for our partner to proceed, so if anyone can throw any light on this at all, I would be very grateful.
