CDS features not appearing when written via annotations._check_write

[BeaverThing]

We've encountered an issue where when attempting to upload a GFF file directly to the annotations track using the python library. Features of non-CDS type appear to upload properly, but CDS do not. For a GFF of

##gff-version 3
Miro	feature	gene	7917	8512	.	+	.	ID=Miro_9;
Miro	GenBank	Shine_Dalgarno_sequence	8509	8512	.	+	0	Alias=Miro_9;ID=Miro_9.RBS;Name=Miro_9.RBS;Parent=Miro_9.mRNA;
Miro	cpt.prepApollo	mRNA	7917	8501	.	+	.	ID=Miro_9.mRNA;Parent=Miro_9;
Miro	GenBank	CDS	7917	8501	.	+	0	ID=Miro_9.CDS;Name=Miro_9;Parent=Miro_9.mRNA;obsolete_name=Miro_155;product=hypothetical conserved;

we get an Apollo log of

By "not appearing," do you mean that it doesn't appear in the track UI? If I use that GFF3, I think I see what you mean where the track looks like this:

If you check the annotation panel, though, you'll see that the CDS is there:

If you want it to show up in the track, you'll have to add an exon line, something like this:

Group1.10	GenBank	exon	7917	8501	.	+	0	Parent=Miro_9.mRNA;

See this section of the GFF3 spec for an explanation, but Apollo works best when you include the exon. If you do so, the annotation track will look like this:
