Change button names on app when adding an ID

Feature Requests

Platform(s), such as mobile, website, API, other: iOS app

URLs (aka web addresses) of any pages, if relevant:

Description of need:
Presently, the buttons available when adding an ID to an observation using the new app are titled “Add Comment” and “Suggest ID”. These are too similar to the buttons available when viewing any observation initially and aren’t intuitively obvious for what they accomplish.

Feature request details:
Change the button names and switch positions so that the buttons read:
“ID Only” and “ID + Comment”

or some short equivalent of these to show that the (new) right-hand button allows the additional capability of adding a comment.

Just to be clear, this is what you’re referring to, correct?

Personally I’d like “Include Comment” or “Include Remark” but neither of those are short enough, probably, and I don’t know how translatable they are. To me “ID + Comment” is confusing, although I don’t think there’s an ideal solution here.

maybe just “ID” with the option to comment aswell, and “Comment”?

Yes, Tony. Those are the offending buttons.
I might suggest instead, for the commenting button, “ID w/ Comment” ???

There is no “comment without ID” option at all?
As far as I understood the available buttons both add IDs but with or without comment?
Hmm… :thinking:

The first pair of buttons you see when you view an observation are “Comment” or “Suggest ID”. The first of these is for commenting without offering an ID.

It is at the stage when you have chosen a suggested ID for an observation that the two offending buttons show up, as I discuss above.
