Hi
There is an error in iD's tagging & validation software, which I've flagged up:
https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/8748#issuecomment-940155347

At the moment it;'s a long winded process, but the defaults can be ignored by clicking a button.

I'm performing GB wide edits to correct all golf features.

Hi
It's disappointing how widespread this error by iD's developers has spread, & it will take a lot of effort to sort out.

Your English is much better than my French.

Hi
iD's validator is incorrect.
https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/8748#issuecomment-940155347

iD doesn't "automatically puts them back". It is a suggestion, which can, and should, be ignored.

Unsure what you mean in your second comment.

I didn't reverse your changeset, I swapped one tag for another. Any other edits remain.

No it's not. Unsure why you'd make such a claim.
Please remove duplicates.

Hi
You've added duplicate, overlaid golf features in Tewkesbury. Could you take a look & delete duplicates?

Hi
I'm checking golf features.

Are these both bunkers & are they grass lined instead of sand?

Hi
landuse=grass in not required. It is for specific areas as indicated in the wikipage's first sentence:
landuse=grass

The landuse of golf features is 'golf' not grass.
To distinguish any differences the 'surface' tag should be used.

golf=* are a specific sport subset of leisure=pitch.
The tag to distinguish it's playing finish is 'surface'
leisure=pitch

Please don't assume a validator's *suggestion* is valid or correct.

Hi
I'm ahead of you.
https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/8748#issuecomment-940155347

To me, Issue #2013 just highlights that iDs developers misunderstood tagging usage, as landuse=grass has never been used for sport pitches. I believe it's always been a primary tag, not a sub/adjective tag as iD were using it.

I'll follow up tomorrow.

Please add your own comments if you wish.

Sadly this isn't iDs only validator suggestion which oversteps the mark.
