I came across this issue because I wanted to check my own observations for which I’d neglected to add the location accuracy, and fix them. I’m happy with the API solution here ( https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/create-filter-by-location-accuracy/298 ) BUT I can’t figure out a way to go from my observat…

I’m fine with the batch edit form not having less commonly needed fields on the page, because clearly that would be more work to implement and benefit only a handful of users, but if we could only append the same search filters to the URL as we can in explore, that would b…

So unless something can be done with the (undocumented) POST https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/update endpoint (which I high…
