Disallowed interval names #56

Closed pnovack-gottshall closed 2 months ago

pnovack-gottshall commented 1 year ago

It seems a recent update is now allowing more stratigraphic interval names in the collection entry Stratigraphy tab. (I.e., more interval names are autofilled in the "Maximum (oldest) time interval" field.) This is great news!

However, if you try to submit the collection with these names, they don't all work. For example, if you try to submit a collection from the "Drumian" for instance (now autofilled), you then get the error: "You can't enter an unknown time interval name - Please go back, check the time scales, and enter a valid name". So it seems the new names are allowed, but aren't linked to a table to build out their ranges when submitted?

Can you confirm the table of interval FADs/LADs is properly linked to the collection submission page?

This is now fixed with the new time interval tables
