nexus and NeXML export - collect scores from subordinate OTUs #2783

Open proceps opened 2 years ago

proceps commented 2 years ago

When I have scores on species or collecting events, and I have a export file with genera or higher ranks, I should be able to offer and option to collect scores from all subordinate categories. So that a genus in export get the scores from all subordinate species and specimens, even when the genus does not have any scores associated withe the genus OTU itself.

I feel like making this dynamic is going to be more effort than its worth. Practically its (far) easier (programming wise) to make a corresponding OTU, and sync observations to it, then dump using regular patterns.

The main issue here, we are working on a generic revision, and genera are not sattled. We would like to have the scores dinamically associated with genera based on current composition of included species. In this sence, dinamic scores would be a preference.
