For some unbeknownst reason, the Android phone app is currently (Aug '21) adding ALL the observation fields of the project Interactions (s Afr) to the database, not only those with URL's. I had this list to fix up (delete empty observations) via the web-based version:
visiting a flower of: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&subview=table&user_id=dryfveer&verifiable=any&field:Visiting%20a%20flower%20of:%20(Interaction)=
Recommendation for the moment is to add interactions via the web-based version until such time as app is functioning properly.
Reason why this is important:

Because searching fields displays them. One thinks one has five dozen observations with the field, but it turns out there are none.
If we write some programmes to filter and present the data, these will interfere with the process.
It would be nice to be able to delete them as curator: but I cannot. Only the one who put them on can.
I have reported the issue to the inaturalist Community Forum to fix up. Will keep you posted.
During the abovementioned exercise of deleting open fields I noticed that many of my observations to which I have diligently via the app added the project Habitat (s Afr) Fynbos, have not uploaded properly to the web-based version and is showing the Habitat as 'Unknown'
Not straight forward though to find (out of +3000 observations) which ones this is relevant to. After some scratching around, I managed to find the list of 167 observations of mine to which this is relevant:
I took the following steps to draft this list:
I went to an old observation that is still showing 'unknown' (in the web version):

@tonyrebelo any additional comments/info will be appreciated. thanks
Unknown is easy, because it is a value. But fields without a value wont wrok.
thanks, I;ve added that detail now as well, empty vs with wrong field
