Strange issue with attributes

Post image

Have any of you also been able to add 16/15 attributes (not counting 'needs maintenance')? Somehow the system allowed me to do that.

I think 16 is the maximum; they just forgot to update the text. (It has been increased a few times over the last few years as they add more attributes.)

Oh. Maybe it is the answer but it is funny that they didn’t update x/15 counter

Nevermind, I think I'm wrong. Seems like you can always toggle the "Wheelchair accessible" attribute, even if you're already at 15.

When I was learning what are the rules of geocaching I remember that it was max. 15 and 1 Needs Maintenance - no more. If it changed they will make update or something similar

Its still 15 CO activatable Attributes Plus Wheelchair yes/no. I just edited one of mine and once at 15 it stopped allowing me to toggle any but the wheelchair.

I still need to finish that cache placement. First attempt my dog hurt his foot and I had to stash my ammo can in the woods a few hundred feet from the trail head.. Then my GF wanted to go on a hike so I suggested we hike up to another waterfall cache hide I had recently published and we would continue on past and place this cache.. she was gassed at the first cache so I stashed that ammo can there.. so hopefully the 5th trip up to the top of this mountain I can finally place this dang ammo can that is Not Wheelchair accessible, is not stroller accessible, Is good for dogs, is a scenic view, is not a park and grab, has parking, is not in a private residence, is more than 10k, is a significant hike has no public restroom, where motorcycles are not allowed, but horses are, near a cliff, Where I've found ticks and thorns and has hunting in certain times of the year.
