Bulk Selection of Observations to Add to a Project

With the help of @mercantour, I found how to add a batch of observations (resulting from a search URL) to a project.

Below is a tutorial for an observer wanting to add many observations to a project.

Join the project:

Filter the observations to add:

In this case, the search URL to get the observations to add is:

https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?user_id=jeanphilippeb&captive=false&place_id=99561&subview=table&taxon_id=47126&verifiable=any

Rewrite the URL as follows (replacing “observations?user_id=jeanphilippeb” by “observations/jeanphilippeb?preferences[per_page]=200”), applying the same filters:

https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/jeanphilippeb?preferences[per_page]=200&captive=false&place_id=99561&taxon_id=47126&verifiable=any

This URL opens a page that enables editing 200 observations.

Click on “Batch edit”.

Click on Select “All”.

Click on “Add to Project”.
Click on “Add”.

Wait for the process to complete.

Click on “Next” to treat the other observations.
