Update post 9/27/23 meeting:
Going to try to implement a dropdown to select types/examples and holotype/exemplar. This will be good for now. If people balk about not having all the other specific types later then at least we have the foundation for adding more.
So... we are not going to do this any time soon. We will have to revisit this again in the Winter.
For the strict taxonomy folks, I think we are going to need to have more type specimen options after all.
Here is a list of types: Holotype, Syntype, Lectotype, Neotype, Epitype, Isotype, Paratype
Is it possible for type specimens to add them in little blocks, where you choose the kind of type from a dropdown, then choose the specimens? Can then add more types via the little green text button. (trying to avoid a proliferation of fields for different types of types). Something like:
Select type [dropdown] Choose specimens [dropdown with the identified specimens] *ADD MORE TYPES [green text button like is used elsewhere]
(example after adding some types)
Paratype DMNH 2456, DMNH 4750, DMNH 3755
Holotype DMNH 3750 ADD MORE TYPES
Other ideas welcome!
