It looks like there is no way to do this function in one step.
Feature request details:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?ident_user_id=A&B
Can it be implemented through the above methods or other methods?
Please leave a message, thank you all.
I approved this but by default multiple values for a param mean OR, not AND, and the & symbol is already used in the DQA. What we would need to do is probably create a new param, eg ident_users_ids, that uses AND for multiple values.
what is an example of a case where this would be useful? why would you need to be able to find cases where multiple specified users had identified the same observation(s)?
I wish to filter out observations that both me and another friend have identified.
why would it be useful to know which observations you and a friend have both identified? are you working on curating things together? roughly how many observations have you and your friend identified? a handful? hundreds? thousands? tens of thousands?
Your words sound more radical and feel like you are targeting me. I estimate that the number is less than 50, and it is troublesome to find them one by one.
Not ‘targeting’ you. @pisum is very good at crafting URLs to answer our questions. But he is working out what you need and for what purpose …
I have some of his URLs bookmarked for daily use.
Well, that’s good to know. My bad. Thanks for the explanation.
i’m asking questions here to try to get you to elaborate on what the problem is that you’re trying to solve. you’ve described a solution – really more than one solution since you’ve talked about both inclusion and exclusion filters – and it’s not clear to me why either solution is desirable or whether they will actually solve your particular problem or whether the problem already has a solution (because i have no clear idea what the problem is).
