Old taxa entry automatically populated in new metadata record in editor

[robyngit]

SCTLD reported that new metadata records are being automatically populated with taxa information from previous records. Their team indicated that this issue is new, so seems to be due to a recent change.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add or edit the taxa in another dataset.
2. Click on to the submit data button.
3. Open the Taxa entry form for a new metadata record.

Expected Behavior

The Taxa entry form for a new metadata record should be blank.

Actual Behavior

The Taxa entry form is already populated with taxa from a previous record. For example, Lisa saw that "Montastraea cavernosa" was preloaded in a new, blank form, which was the species loaded for her previous project.

Workaround

For now, users can manually delete the preloaded species that are not relevant to the new record.

Additional Information

• Lisa tried logging out and back in to reset the issue but found no change.
• SCTLD is using the "quick taxa entry" feature

I've found that the key to reproducing this issue is that you must click the "submit" button to create a new dataset without saving the current dataset that has some taxa entered

[robyngit]

The problem happens specifically when adding taxa with the quick add feature. When the current coverages are retrieved in the getTaxonQuickAddOptions method, the EML model already has taxa set from records previously edited in the Editor.

The branch with work on this issue is bugfix-2196-persistent-taxa
