locality not included in the DwC or custom downloads #14

download Sphaerolobium pulchellum records in both Full DwC or custom and Legacy formats

Legacy format has data in the locality field either full Dwc or custom doesn't have any data

Note from users:

Of interest is that the ‘locality’ column is filled in the ALA legacy downloads. I’ve attached Excel worksheets of all records of Sphaerolobium pulchellum in both DwC and Legacy formats. In yellow I’ve highlighted the ‘locality’ and ‘verbatimLocality’ columns, and also a couple of rows where the data does appear (i.e. in two sheets from NSW the text ‘Unknown locality’ and ‘[No precise location]’ appears in the ‘locality’column in the Legacy format and the ‘verbatimLocality’ column of the DwC format, whereas all other record shave both columns empty in DwC – this is an additional mystery!).

tested and resolved: Both full Darwin core and custom download (all fields) include the locality and verbatimLocality fields
