# taxonomy error when exporting survey

Asked by ashleygrup on 2026-06-30

Hello! I'm running into an issue exporting a survey from the Arena Mobile app. The error references the taxonomy file: "Invalid node in record "95ace7ea-2bac-4194-9db2-Oa2196d3c17c", node "2b84cecb-350f-4dac-aecb-76eccb15b11b" with node definition "species" (uuid "f71d6677-f15f-4544-b917-e179687422b5"): taxon with uuid a24dfb15-0207-4652-958f-0993c7427df8 does not exist"

I've checked the survey several times, and the "species" dropdown matches the current taxonomy file as far as I can tell, so I'm not sure how to resolve it.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
