1. 
  - Keep the original capture observation as not captive

2. 
  - Mark the captive observations as captive.

3. 
  - Either use the related observation field to link them or put the urls of the captive/casual obs in the comments of the original obs

4. 
  - Any serious researcher who understands iNat isn’t going to have a problem with them being captive/casual and to them reaching RG is irrelevant

I’m going to stop banging my head on my desk and stop following this topic now.
