iNaturalist import error

[Glenn Dixon]

On my first two attempts Scythebill complained of missing header info - after I added those into the iNaturalist export csv Scythebill then reported ‘Failed Import’ - what would you need to see from this csv file to resolve where the problem lies?

Looks like iNaturalist moved around what columns are in the default and what aren’t. I’ve changed the manual to accommodate those changes. The manual now reads (note specifically the “Choose Columns” section):

To import from iNaturalist, visit https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/export. 

• Choose a query - setting User to your iNaturalist user ID, and choosing a single group of taxa with "Show only".
• In “Choose Columns” alone, choose “All” for both “Geo” and “Taxon Extras”.
• Use "Create export".
• Expand the .zip file you download, and use the .csv file to import into Scythebil.

This worked just as advertised - thank you!
