i don’t think this makes sense. reasoning:
- i would bet most projects are set up with just one place.
- there are lots of criteria that you can use to set up a collection project besides place. why break out places, as opposed to, say, taxa, or users, or anything else like that?
- how would you represent cases where you’ve excluded places in your criteria?
…
if you want to get a count of observation in places, and you don’t want to set up up separate collection projects + umbrella project, you could always just query for the data in the Explore page, or you could use the API to help automate the process. for example: https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNat_places.html?project_id=sc-state-parks&stats=observations&place_id=109414,109420,127564,147084,147163,147164,147165,147166,147169,147171,147172,147173,147174,147176,147179,147185,147186,147187,147188,147189,147193,147195,147196,147199,1597696,175285,175292,175344,175350,175352,175363,175743,175750,175751,175796,175797,175798,175824,175825,175828,175846,175847,175856,175876,175877,175896,175897,175898
