| jules_f | European Alder (Alnus glutinosa) |
the taxon page shows 54222-Alnus-glutinosa being Inactive, however users still keep IDing their observation as this taxon (when they actually mean the active species 966205-Alnus-glutinosa) |

seems fixed, no new observations incoming under the inactive taxon |

Can you share examples @jules_f?
I found one identification with three photos from about a year ago. I've added the correct (?) identification https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/41104250. Try doing the same.
In a case like that, the user may have opted out of taxon changes.
Actually here's 263 observations, many of them recent, so it's still happening post-swap.

Looks like the CV is still suggesting an inactive taxon.
Looks like a CV issue involving taxon splits and Seek. See this thread:

Thank you for looking into it. I wanted to include examples, but the field was too short
I think there are actually even more observations than 263, since some experts have added the correct ID to the inactive ones, such as https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/88824835, and https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/89794756
(I don't think these are included in the list). However these observations cannot reach RG level, despite having two A.glutinosa IDs. It's not a major problem, but it is a bit frustrating and takes time to re-ID
Thanks for notifying others. I hope they fix it soon, this species is quite common
'In a case like that, the user may have opted out of taxon changes..' - the observation was made and the the initial ID made after the taxon swap was done and the original taxon inactivated, so it can't be a case of the user opting out.
The CV issue from Seek was fixed, but people using outdated versions of the app may continue to upload observations with the inactive taxon.
I re-committed the swap. Almost all of the IDs of the inactive taxon were changed to the active Alnus glutinosa. Let's see if that solved the problem
I'm not able to get it to show up when I suggest an ID. How do you think it's happening? Maybe it's recent as 2 people flagged this in 5 minutes?
