Deleting record within Moth Survey deletes whole survey?

Submitted by JHammond on

Heya,

Accidentally submitted a duplicate record via the Moth Survey form on the iRecord App (Android). As I couldn't see a way to delete the duplicate prior to uploading the record within the app, uploaded survey and deleted the duplicate record. I now can't see any of the records in the survey under 'My Records' online, (after waiting >15 mins for the webpage to catch up). My best guess is deleting the duplicate deleted the whole survey. Pretty frustrating as it was a lot of records, and I didn't make a paper copy.

Flagging this here as it doesn't seem like intended behaviour for the app/website.

As an aside, are the deleted records recoverable?

Open the record you want to delete for editing.  At the left hand end of the details row there are two symbols, a pad with pen, allowing you to change the name, and a bin, which removes the entry from the list.  They are very small symbols.  

I am sure that the records could be undeleted, depending on the database used, but it would be quite a lot of work for someone.
