Hey, I am trying to upload a species list to Openforis Collect. The format seems ok but now i get the following error for multiple species:

Error parsing scientific name from Adonis aestivalis var. citrina [= A. aestivalis var. citrinus] Error parsing scientific name from Aethusa cynapium s. l. Error parsing scientific name from Myosotis scorpioides agg. Error parsing scientific name from Abies spec.

Please help!

Hey, Thanks for your help. The Problem is (or nearly was) that the list I got from the government contained hundreds of designations and abbreviations that collect does not know/accept, such as s. l. , agg., spec., "x" - for hybrids, and so on.. It was a small pain but right now I fixed all the bugs (together with ChatGPT and ExcelVBA). The only "Problem" I have left is the following: - For every species there is an extra coloum with the redlist of endangered species codes for germany, they are e.g., "u", "*", "2","3", "-" - OpenForis Collect did import the columns but the values are not displayed..

It is not too bad, and I will be able to conduct the fieldwork without but it would be great if it would be possible to display these symbols in future
