'Identified by' field in app not always available

Submitted by John McTague on

Hi,

If I want to submit a record of a species that I recorded, but sent to an expert for identification, I can input their name in 'identified by' when using the website, and sometimes when using the app. But for example I just tried to add a Sphagnum record, and the field for 'identified by' was not available. What should I do in such situations?

 

Many thanks 

Change the recorder name on an incoming iNaturalist record

Submitted by Darwyn Sumner on

On iNaturalist I've posted images of specimens in a collection I possess.

There the recorder has to be registered as me. I can add a note there to say who the original recorder was.

When the record comes through to iRecord it still shows as me as recorder.

I was 1 year old when Leonard Kidd collected that specimen

How do I change the name of the recorder?
