Create property "Exclude"
Create a special property "Exclude" that removes a record from all totals, badges etc. This would allow people to include thins like heard-only, NTVs, escapes etc., but not have them added to totals etc.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE....Can we get the function in place that removes Heard Only from a totals list. I raised this back in 2017 and been asking with frequency. Like many users I am a world lister and just want to know what species I have seen to those only ever heard and vice versa. As you have said this is just a bug fix I beg you to fix this please. It is the ONLY thing I have asked for and pretty sure other users would benefit from. Bird Journal is a fantastic tool .Unfortunately, to see my 'Seen only list' I still have to use Wildlife Recorder. So having to use two systems and double annual costs is frustrating. WR may be clunky and pretty ugly but at least it does this function without issue. :(

Currently the Heard option when classed as Not to include still does not work correctly. I find it removes a 1,000 species yet I only applied Heard to roughly 100 entries historically.
Therefore, I am unable to know my World List or any other list totals of birds 'Seen'. -
How we handle the change to default filtering behaviour will be interesting. I think we’d still want to see all species listed in the species screen by default. So it would probably just be some special logic to exclude them from species counts whereever they are shown.
But.. then how do you allow them to be included temporarily? Maybe you just need to change Settings to allow them if that's what you want, and there's no real temporary use-case.

I guess we should allow properties to be added to a "To exclude" list in settings, rather than having a specific property for this. Then you can exclude "Heard Only", "Possible Escape", etc as desired. Probably with sensible defaults.
