Data validator issue

I used data validator tool but I don't know how to fix my issue on dates and on occurrence status. The tool says my obersvation date is incorrect but I've checked and it is correct! Also I have an "Occurrence status inferred from individual count" issue that I don't understand.

Thanks for your help.

Most of GBIF flags and issues are documented here: https://techdocs.gbif.org/en/data-use/occurrence-issues-and-flags. Generally, the dates are often flagged as invalid when their format don’t follow the ISO standards (YYYY-MM-DD, for example 2024-08-01 for the first of August 2024). Could this be the case for your dataset?

The flag "Occurrence status inferred from individual count" is more a warning than an issue. It means that no occurrenceStatus was provided and that our system inferred whether the species was present or absent based on the value in the individualCount field.
