AntCat is not updating name links in taxonomic histories, as it was before

[flaviaesteves]

AntCat used to update name links in taxonomic histories. So, if a name suffered a new combination, a link for the newly combined name would substitute the link for the obsolete combination.

Example:

Camponotus doriae Mayr, 1872: 137 (w.) BORNEO. Indomalaya.
Emery, 1900: 707 (s.q.). Combination in Camponotus: Dalla Torre, 1893: 228; in Camponotus (Colobopsis): Forel, 1913k: 133. Junior synonym of Camponotus cylindricus: Emery, 1917a: 97.

After combination in of Camponotus cylindricus in Colobopsis, the taxonomic history above should show:

Camponotus doriae Mayr, 1872: 137 (w.) BORNEO. Indomalaya.
Emery, 1900: 707 (s.q.). Combination in Camponotus: Dalla Torre, 1893: 228; in Camponotus (Colobopsis): Forel, 1913k: 133. Junior synonym of Colobopsis cylindrica: Emery, 1917a: 97.

But the update is not happening (and it happened before).

Is it possible to make a name link automaticlly updates itself to the current valid usage of that name?

Thanks!

@flaviaesteves I'll look into it right now.

I tracked down the issue but forgot to reply here. This is actually an old issue, see #158.

Taxon links are still being updated (technically they never change -- the same IDs are always used, but whenever the name of a taxon with a particular ID changes, that is reflected in the history item). In this case the history items were moved to point to a new taxon, but due to the bug in #158, they were never updated to point to the old taxon when the change was undone.
