I converted an old test project to a Collection project based on a place that I created. I must say, I’m happy there’s an exclusion filter!

But now I want to have the same project except I want to change the taxa. Is there a way to copy so all I have to do is edit the name and taxa?

Someone actually wrote to help@inat today about the same thing. I talked with Patrick about it and it’s something we can do, so I’ll write up an issue for it. Can’t estimate when it would be implemented, though.
