As a footnote to this, current help doc states "You can create multiple Plants by using ranges in the code entry." This, it seems, would allow multiple plant entries with the same location, date, etc, and if 'quantity' was entered as '1', creating one plant entry for each individual plant?
If this is the correct use of Bauble, then why for a Plant entry can one put any number for 'quantity' because at the moment, I could enter one plant entry with 'quantity' of '5' or I could enter 5 plant entries with quantity of '1' to record the same 5 specimens planted in the same location etc. If I mistakenly left quantity as '5' whilst still using multiple plant option for 5 entries, I'd end up with 25 specimens on record...

The multiple entry option is good. The options for 'quantity' is good. Just seems to be a bit of overlap or potential for inconsistent data entry at moment. Again, could be tweaks of code, or expand on the docs.
