Improve Vihko observations data validation #608

Open mikkohei13 opened 3 weeks ago

mikkohei13 commented 3 weeks ago

When observers enter observations to Vihko, census projects etc. want to warn/notify and encourage them to add or fix the data.

Current warning system is confusing for many users, and sometimes cause them to not save the observations at all.

→ We should modify the system to allow more warnings with less confusion.

Old use cases

As observer, I want to get notified when I should add more accurate location to my observation, so that it will be used for (nature protection).

As observer, I want to be able to save observations as draft even if they don’t pass mandatory validations, so that I won’t give up.

As observer, I want to be able to save observations as public even if they don't pass warnings, so that I won’t give up.
