That is expected as its the simple form of a ColDP archive and many people are not interested in vernacular names etc which takes up unnecessary bandwidth and computing. To access the full data please select the extended flag.

the same is true for DwC and TextTree btw

Wow, that's not what I would have expected! I would have expected to get all the data by default.

I hadn't paid much attention to this before as I would typically download the original archive as it often has more information, especially for references (which often don't seem to be correctly parsed).

IMHO the extended checklist box seems cryptic at best. Maybe instead have coldp complete and coldp just names as formats?

Anyway, thanks for clarifying.

whatever it is called I just like to make sure the simple format is the default and people asking for all do it on purpose
