#85 Problems when linking to external taxonomy

[Ester Gaya]

Hi,

I am just submitting a DNA matrix and when I am having problems when trying to link to taxonomy. I may be doing something wrong...
If it finds a NamebankID from UBio or NCBI no problem, but if I have to add the taxon id by hand, the 'no association' button is checked by default and even if I add the id number below and I update it, it appears an error message (I attached it as a doc file below). I can't find a way to unclick the 'no association' button. Then it appears this message for all the taxa I couldn't link: an unsuccesful attempt has been made to link this to the external taxonomy

Also, another question, it is really painful to link specimen by specimen to its taxonomy. I have several specimens from the same species and I have been able to figure out a way to link that species at once, without having to do it one by one. It can be very painful for a population level study. Is there a way to do it?

Thank you
