I would like to add support for this request as a planter of series. Often, people log finding the series and even leave a nice note, but they forget to check any of the boxes. I have to confess to doing that, as well. I think a one click option might help that situation.

I thought I was the only one who did that! I think I've even done it more than once........so I'm also adding my support for a one-click option for series.

What about if the default is that nothing is selected. Then if you try to submit something without even changing it to "note" you get a message about that. That way, in order to submit a log you will at least have to change something.

I'm not a fan of this idea only cause I've hosted an event and attended many.
It really frustrating when people check them all and I know for a fact that they did not find the box. As a planter and a hostess, I put a lot of effort into them being found. It's like cheating to me .
And yes I know this is a hobby and I should not worry, but I do.

Perhaps, once a finder clicks "Record Find" on the listing, the default should be that all the individual boxes in a series are already checked. You'd have the option to change the check to attempted or N/A as appropriate.
Or perhaps, if you click on "Record Find" and then try to close up without checking any boxes, AQ should remind you that you need to check boxes.

But if you click them all but did not find box 5 , then change box 5 to not found. You have then clicked twice for a 20 box series instead of clicking 20 times.
I never meant to suggest you would leave found on boxes you did not find.:)

Once you click the find all , then change box 5 that you didn't find (for all the reasons you mentioned ) to not found. You have then clicked twice instead of 20 times.
My fat fingers are not so good for clicking on small cell phone.
I never intended to suggest adding boxes one didn't find ☺
