Workflow advice: Adding a taxon to a list

General
1

Hi. I am wondering if there’s a more elegant way to add a taxon to a list than what I’m doing now. (browser, website versio)

Is there a way to, from either a taxon page or observation page, add that animal to a custom list? This is so much faster and easier than having to leave to use the clunky list editing page, from a perspective of exploring and learning about an area, etc., that I can’t think it’s how it is intended to be.

Any advice on workflows here? Thank you.

if you have your taxon page or observation page open in one window or tab and your list page open in a second window or tab – especially if you have both windows in view at the same time – it seems like you could have an efficient enough workflow. you could run a script in your browser console that gets the taxon id from your taxon page or observation page and adds it to your specified list. this could be faster, or at least fewer steps, depending on how you do it. you could also write or adapt a browser extension or some sort of automation tool to run that script or give you a button to click to add to your list, but that requires some upfront setup effort that seems hard to justify in most cases that i can imagine.
