What Wildbook should this feature be in? GiraffeSpotter

What would you like to see? I can see in the Library Admin the ability to update location ID

However, I can only see the correct location IDs in the ‘old location code’ dropdown. I would like the ability to see here a list of ALL location IDs that have been submitted, so I can correct in bulk. For example, someone has submitted several encounters with Location ID: MERU NATIONAL PARK, but the correct is “Meru National Park” which would then correctly assign hierarchy Location ID: Kenya → Northern Kenya → Meru National Park. I would like to be able to see “MERU NATIONAL PARK” in the “Old location code” dropdown list so I can correctly reassign it.

How would this functionality help you? Very quickly fix errors in historical bulk imports

I’m pretty sure the Library Administration tools are all nonfunctional at this stage but I agree they should be available again.

In the meantime, let me know if there are other encounter locations that should be updated and we’ll get those fixed for you soon.

Thanks @Anastasia, they would be very useful for quick fixes on the admin side to take the request off your plate.

There’s actually a lot, I’ll email you a list - thank you
