We recycle images frequently from one survey to another, to help surveyors identify something (usually a tree) for reinspection, so they're sure they are in the right place. I have created some queries that make importable CSV files containing photo IDs that we import into the relevant app whenever we plan a reinspection. This works well enough when the images were collected in the same app as the reinspection (apart from repeated unhelpful messages at the Review Issues stage), with the new record sharing the image with the previous inspection.

However, if the image was in a different app, I have to find and download the relevant images (which is not easy given the number of images we have collected), reduce their size and zip them together with my CSV files for the Importer. These extra steps are very time-consuming and force me to trawl through lots of "issues" at the Review Issues stage to make sure I've included all the images I need.

I understand the Importer is trying to protect me against certain risks:

* if the original record is deleted, the 'new' image will be lost in the new app;

* if a user only has permission to see the new app, they won't be able to see the image because it resides in the other app.

I am prepared to take these risks, because of the way I manage access to the apps and because we won't be deleting any of the original records while there's a chance we could resurvey any of those features.

Can we please have an option at Review Issues stage to confirm that we understand the risks (with a link or reminder of what those risks are) and tell the importer to proceed with the import with 'foreign' photo references?
