“I’ve done things like posted observations from my phone that are really terrible quality, because I want the location data saved until I have a chance to upload from my computer”
Perhaps you could use a copypasta - which you could delete later - for identifiers - please don’t ID yet, will upload a better picture later
That is also a situation where the requested draft mode would be a better solution all round.
