Allow 'features' from user generated lists to be displayed in a similar way to threatened status displayed from conservation lists. #305

Ability to identify e.g. 'species of concern' from an Indigenous cultural perspective, from a user specified 'features' list.

Does this mean to display the data as text, or to render coloured icons of some sort like the conservation status icons? Text can already be displayed via the 'feature list' controls. Icons would be trickier, as the admin would probably need to provide a mapping from their specific list entries.

Ultimately, the ability for the admin to map icons for key features would be good for ease of use and to reduce reliance on text-based interfaces. At present, let's run with the text implementation, and look at the priority for icons amongst other needs at a later stage.

To investigate: it is possible to create a list containing an attribute with a url to an image, then use that to render the image on the profile page. This could be used instead of or as well as the colour-coded statuses.
