No way to view underlying OSM data

[SomeoneElseOSM]

At https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/51528 , having signed in, I can click on an example problem:

Even after clicking on something is blue the same is true:

None of the things on screen seem to support "open in new tab" so I can't actually examine any of the OSM data. Only by going into an OSM editor and from there opening in new tab can I actually see the problem (in this example, https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/557039034 ).

Is this what you are looking for?

[SomeoneElseOSM]

What button(s) did you press to get that?

[CollinBeczak]

This is currently only available in the task map when working on a task:

I clicked on the layers icon on the top right of the tasks map in the tasks widget, and checked "osm data"

@SomeoneElseOSM does @CollinBeczak's response satisfy your request? Feel free to close the issue in that case.

I just see "No tasks found" at https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/51528 ?

[mvexel]

That challenge is done @SomeoneElseOSM so there are no tasks to be found (the map will only show tasks that are not in any kind of "done" state)

Try for example this challenge page.

"This is currently only available in the task map when working on a task" is a problem because (both with and without a DWG hat on) it's useful to look at what a user was asked to do regardless of whether they have marked that as "done" or not.

This is why we introduced the shortlinks in the changeset comments. Consider this changeset:

You will find that clicking the shortlink will lead you right back to the task screen. You don't need to be signed in to MapRoulette to see the information.

https://osmcha.org/changesets/164726525 is https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/164726525 , and in there one way was changed - surface=paved was added: https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/osm-deep-history/#/way/12007224 .

When I click on "OSM data" I see a selection of OSM data in the area (some, not all - I see a brown line for https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1213930784). I don't just see the change that was made. Maybe https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1213930784 is shown because it shares a node with https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/12007224 ?

Of the "OSM Data" view inside the letterbox inside maproulette, I still can't do much. For example, clicking a building at https://maproulette.org/challenge/38309/task/257083197 jus displays some text - I have to manually change e.g. "OSM Data: way 1287973999" into https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1287973999 in a browser to e.g. look at the history.

I think I am misunderstanding the original issue -- what is it the functionality that you expect to see, or the action you expect to be able to perform, when you're on a task page? What is your scenario? We've given a few options to see more information about OSM data in the comments above, but I don't understand why these are unsatisfactory.

The layer is helpful but not intuitive to find or efficient to query all OSM features unnecessarily.
I think the feature that is the subject of the task should have a link on the left for easy access (and in the popup when clicking an issue on the map).
