# Collect says duplicate while importing species list!!

Asked by dhunganamilan on 2016-09-06

Hello Openforis Support,

I have been trying to import species list in openforis collect but it's now showing unnecessary warnings. Collect says duplicate scientific names in the data even when there are no any duplication at all. The same set of data worked fine for previous version however it is giving warning this time. Is it any kind of bug or what? It's so frustrating!! Please help!!

Warm Regards from Kathmandu

Milan

Hello there,

Solved!! I found the solution for this. The problem was the scientific_name all in UPPERCASE in my csv data. When I edited the scientific names in a proper way i.e. all lowercase characters except first one, it worked!!

Cheers!!!!!!!!!
