Taxon Encounters form field "taxon": autocomplete widget times out after inactivity #49

Open brookerichards opened 3 years ago

brookerichards commented 3 years ago

When entering the species name, the drop down options didn’t appear (side note - I left the computer to do something else and then came back later). This is possibly because the session timed out? After refreshing the page they auto appeared again as I started to write in the species name.

Reproducible example:

  1. 'Report Occurrence'
  2. Leave computer for x amount of time
  3. Go to continue entering data and taxon
  4. 'No results found' in taxon field

Correct, the auto-lookup expires after a while. This should be mentioned in the docs:

How to enter occurrences: Enter the taxonomic/vernacular name within XX seconds to preview available options, else the widget times out and requires a page reload.
