Hi,

When I fix errors on my Datadoctor page I receive the following error

Your WikiTreeID does not exist. Status is updated, but correct it next time. (Du-Preez-1795)

I think you may be saying that when you access your suggestions to record their resolution, your ID# is passed to WikiTree+ as Du-Preez-1795 instead of Du_Preez-1795. Is that what is happening?
Correct, it is not something I actively change, it is an error that appears after each "fix" I make in Data Doctor page

Your correct WikiTree ID has a space/underscore between Du and Preez, not a hyphen:

Du_Preez-1795 .

Any idea how I can fix this problem.  As so kindly pointed out I have a dash between du-Preez and not a _ as required.  My profile however has the underscore.

Retype the ID with either the underscore or just leave a space as either will work fine.
This looks like a technical issue with WikiTree+ or WikiTree. It's tagged as a bug to get the attention of the people who might be able to do something about it.
