Should some fields be required when creating an observation?

I might be misunderstanding, but I think the idea is that you only have to select from the iconic taxa if you decline to enter a species ID. Once you’ve entered a real ID, the requirement to select from the iconic taxa disappears.

Yes, that’s the idea. If you do input an ID, the system already does assort the observation accordingly.
