When reviewing observations, it would be useful to have a dropdown list allowing to select any upper taxonomic level to submit it as a new ID for the observation.
Such list could be located next to every existing “Agree” button, the list containing all taxonomic levels upper than this ID to (dis)agree with.
For instance, in the example below, I would have simply selected “Caesalpinioideae” in a list next to this “Senna” ID or next to this “Agree” button:
I just added a request for this feature, not knowing someone already requested it. In my request though I expand it further to allow selection down the taxonomic tree as well. For example, if someone IDs to genus, a menu listing all species in that genus could be available. Or if someone identified to a family, there could be an iteratively expanding menu where it first lists the available genera, then after the user picks a genus, a list of species in the genus would appear.
Going through old feature requests. I’ve been told that loading parent taxa wouldn’t be an issue here, although we’d have to figure out a UI for it. Adding arrow on or next to Agree might be confusing and/or lead to misclicks. Maybe something below “Agree”?
