Bug: Adding a subspecies ID does not change the community ID

[henry....@gmail.com]

Hi

I added a subspecies ID to an observation that only has the one class level ID from the original observer.

However, afterwards the Community ID does not change to the subspecies but stays at the class.

To test this further I deleted by subspecies ID and added a species level ID instead, which resulted in the Community ID being correctly updated.

Expected behaviour:

Adding a subspecies ID should behave the same as adding a species ID.

Observation:

some people don't want to go to subspecies level especially when subspecies are determined by range and not characters. I don't want anyone to do the latter to my observations, and oftentimes people do. Not a big deal, but annoying.

I'm curious to know why this is the case.  I experienced the same thing today.  Subspecific taxa are important in plants, and I think this is a fix that needs to be made.  Additionally, suggesting subspecific identities to observations that already have species IDs should push the leading community to the subspecies as well.
