iNat import duplicates Field Slip #2407

Open JoeCohen opened 4 weeks ago

Deal more gracefully with this:

Problems:

  1. There are 2 MO records for the same observation.

  2. The Recorder's Field Slip Record and Observation contain the raw number of the iNat obs. But there is no link to iNat, no link or other reference to the user's MO Observation.

  3. The User's MO Observation has no reference to the Recorder's Observation.

Some ideas:

  1. Tweak Field Slip recording to create a link to the iNat obs (rather than just the raw #). (Relatively easy to do this.)
  2. Tweak iNat importing to add a link to the Recorder's Observation. (Relatively easy to to this.)
  3. Amend the Recorder's Observation instead of creating a new Observation when the user imports the iNat obs. (Harder to do this.)
