That is not right. If they don't have a booth=* tag then don't think that these 
all have a booth.
So I would not add a tag here that maybe wrong.

- do have a `covered=booth` tag
This is correct .. they have a booth so adding booth=yes is correct.

It sounds like you are very confused.

Yes..


I’ll try again.

The only features I’m modifying have the tags `amenity=telephone` and 
`covered=booth`.
I will change `covered=booth` to `covered=yes`
I will add a tag `booth=yes` but only if there is not already an existing 
`booth*` tag.

Good for the booth=yes.


The reason I’m doing this is so that we can offer users a `covered` checkbox 
for the telephone preset in iD.
This checkbox really wants to assign values like `yes` and `no` -- not `booth`.
Make sense?

Sense .. yes of a sort.

But the offering of a covered check box is not a good idea.
It is not the same as a 'booth'. A booth will usually have 3 sides as well as a 
top - this aides hearing and speech to the telephone.
Sometimes the sides are not very large and you have to lean in .. but they help 
a lot in noisy circumstances.

A 'covering' may just be a shop awing - separate from the phone but still a 
covering. Or the phone could be under a stairway or bridge, all coverings but 
not a booth.

Words are important particularly when used singularly and also with people who 
are not that familiar with the language.

Take care.
