Question 18: Data deleted from new Collection Events [Paleobotany MPD - Geology]

[rondlg]

I noticed that when I make a new Collection Event, attach it to a Catalogue record, then
save the catalog record, a lot of the data I entered in the collection event record is deleted. The dates, collectors, etc. are deleted, leaving only the Site and Site Visit #.

Here's an example
Original record

Response: The catalogue fields are the primary drivers so because they are blank when you attach the collection event they are overwriting your values.

• Catalog fields for autogenerating / overriding a Collection Event
• As of 2022 these were: Question 66: RRC workflow questions [ZK - Action] #633 (comment)

(IT will confirm, tho, if/when subsequent EMu development changed that)
