Now, if a moderator changes the insect taxon affiliation of a photo from the website gallery, changes the author of the identification and/or the precision of the identification, then all these changes are automatically applied to all photos of the specimen photo group (if the photographer set the appropriate attributes for them). A comment on the changes is also published on the page of each of the photos in the group. This will help avoid "human factor" errors, when a moderator changes the properties of one photo, but not the other in the same group.
The algorithm for changing these properties of photos for authors/photographers remains the same for now - you need to change the properties of each photo. This approach is due to the fact that it is much easier for authors to multiply the same properties to other photos in the group, with the fact that the author knows better than the moderator whether there are other photos of the same individual, and with the fact that authors often made mistakes in applying properties before, erroneous properties were applied to the entire group. Let's see how the current version works and in the future, if necessary, we will expand the automatic transfer of properties to the authors of photos.
