An unintended consequence of my recent taxon swap for the prior A. metallica species taxon (https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/82527-Augochloropsis-metallica) seems to have made some prior A. metallica IDs display as inactive (without displaying a new ID from a taxon swap). For example: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/142271703. Unless it turns out that this is just due to the taxon change still processing, curator attention will be needed to determine how to fix this quickly. I'm also wondering if this occurred because I attempted to swap a taxon of one rank with a taxon of a different rank?

I think you're right, so it should be okay.
