FR: Update existing check_date or survey:date if already present #751

Open yrtimiD opened 1 week ago

yrtimiD commented 1 week ago

If an updated feature already has a survey:date tag - it's better to update it instead of adding extra check_date (quite popular StreetComplete uses survey:date)

quite popular StreetComplete uses survey:date

To add some context: while StreetComplete does indeed use survey:date (among other tags) to determine if place should be resurveyed, when the mapper does confirm the place still exist, StreetComplete will remove survey:date and other similar tags and replace them with check_date (set to today, obviously).

There was also a discussion in https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/2592 few years ago about survey:date vs. check_date where the decision to use check_date was reaffirmed; so that thread might provide some background on the reasoning.
