Add site_type to Archaeological Site preset

[shiftee]

In Ireland there are many ringforts scattered across the country.
Finding these is trivial using the Old British/Irish maps and the aerial imagery so sometimes I randomly wander around adding them.
The process is a bit tedious as I need to set the site_type and fortification_type keys and values manually.

Can a preset for this be added?

I don't think it makes sense to add a preset for something as specific as fortification_type=ringfort, which has only a very local focus..

But we could add some more fields to the "Archaeological Site" preset to make it easier to map kinds of sites, or maybe add a "Historic Fortification" which has the site_type=fortification already filled in (if this is a common thing).

Right not the preset doesn't have very many fields:

Also, worth mentioning that if you are mapping a lot of these things with very specific tags set, you can Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V to copy and paste them with the tags set up the way you like.

Perfect, I didn't know you could copy & paste the nodes.
This solves the need to setup each node (boring, repetitive and error prone).

For me adding a site_type field to "Archaeological Site" would be an improvement.
A "Historic Fortification" preset can probably wait until there is more user interest.

Regardless, my primary issue is resolved, shall I close?

I'll close this after I improve the Archaeological Site preset

I added site_type, with a combo box.
