I tried to make a list of observation fields beginning with “has”
^has
filled in in the search field does not work:
search without the carat at the beginning… eg “has”, not “^has”
https://inaturalist.nz/observation_fields?utf8=✓&q=has&commit=Search
I don’t think there are any wildcards you can use to search only the beginning of a field name. I think @kiwifergus’s solution is the only option, but it will find “has” anywhere in the field name.
I wonder if there is a way to have it sort by name?
It would probably have to be a new Feature Request, unless there is some undocumented URL functionality on https://www.inaturalist.org/observation_fields that someone can enlighten us about.
Doesn’t directly address this need, but it’s also worth a read through
https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/standardize-and-clean-up-observation-fields/363
for some past requests and current staff position involving fields.
just posting the feature request now!
…pending approval :)
