Sapling Data Missing Habit #132

Open blcampbell opened 5 years ago

blcampbell commented 5 years ago

Investigating sapling data further, there currently are 1399 records from regular events (not PseudoEvents) where no Habit data was entered.

20190522_SaplingData_Missing_Habit.xlsx

Of these, 8 do not have a species associated with the tag.

Given the automation with #103 and data cleanup with #129 and #130, recommend these records be updated as well.

To Fix A script could be run to update the Habit field based on tlu_Plants (after it is updated to refect changes from #129, #130) -OR- These could be updated over time using the application and a printout of those needing updates.

Do we need to document these changes like other tag history values?

@lizmatthews03 , @johnpauls, @abrolis please weigh in on the preferred fix & whether a history is desired.

Per our discussion the following records will not have a Habit due to the records not being sampled:

Records in this state will need to have their species set to 'Unknown' with the Habit set to 'Tree' based on the default for the 'Unknown' tlu_Plants species record.
