**Description of need** :  
I want to make a work-from-home citizen science project where people can add phenology annotations to plants of interest. To lower the barrier for entry, I want to show these items in a Collection Project, rather than trying to teach people how to use the Identify tool to filter unannotated plants themselves.

Currently, the Collection project only lets you filter observations that _do_ have a particular annotation. I want to filter observations that _do not_ have it.

Please add a ‘Without Annotation’ filter option when making a new Collection Project.
