Error with API wrt to localizedTitle and title being null

[stuzart]

There seems to have been a breaking change to the API. We've found that many entries now have null titles. It seems if a localizedTitle is present (which seems a new attribute), then the title is left as null.

This causes nil errors in existing clients of the API that read the title

Thanks for reporting. We are aware of the issue and we are working on a fix.

Thanks, we were made aware of this earlier today. It's not an intentional breaking change in the API; both title and localizedTitle should be present. However, there was an issue which meant title was set to null in specific circumstances, which we unfortunately replicated in our production deployment. The fix should be rolled out this afternoon.

Great, thanks very much for the quick response :)

[jamesamcl]

This should be fixed now (slightly sooner than expected!)

[stuzart]

there still seems to be a few null titles, for NCBITaxon, Gaz, DUO, MI ?

Thanks Stuart! We will investigate further!
