Adding subspecies to an existing name throws an error prompt.
I selected Novopokrovskia aucheri and then added a subspecies to it. The parent taxon name box came up and reported an error.
and then I was unable to enter the correct family name
I tried it also with changing the species name to a new one (but existing genus) and same problem
OK. Done some more testing. This is for all new taxon names that this is happening.
If you manage to keep the new taxon name and continue digitizing, the name is not registered in the panel below.
Allow digitizers to add names to existing taxonomic names.
Could break the algorithm for determining the taxonomic rank based on the taxon name format: setTaxonNameFieldsUsingFullName() in specimen.py
setTaxonNameFieldsUsingFullName()
