I have had ongoing problems when submitting data for some variables with long names. WebObs gives me the following message
"We cannot find a previous chart used for this object. Please enter the chart used."
when I have just submitted data on that very same star and entered the chart not 10 minutes previously.
Here are two examples of stars that cause problems:
SSS 120731:214217-674801
SSS 120725:202916-505847
I wonder if it the colon (:) that is causing the problem?
This was also reported by someone else in the past. Please could my posting be acknowledged and the issue addressed.
Thanks in anticipation

Stephen, I also have noticed this issue when entering certain stars. I think they also have have the long names, but the problem occurs even if I enter by AUID. It highlights in red that I haven't entered a chart for it before, but in fact I have, and do every time, but it just doesn't seem to "remember" this.
One such star is: SDSS J225749.54-082228.7 (AUID = 000-BJS-729)
Hope this "bug" can be resolved!

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll look into it.
Thanks, Will :-)
