Encourage editors to fill in default meta information upon file uploads in content elements
0%
Description
As an editor I want to be encouraged to fill out some meta information for files, when I upload and attach them to a content element.
Backround
Right now I am able to upload an image within a content element. A little preview is shown, and fields to overwrite the title and the alternative text, which have no default value yet. Only after I hit »save«, I am able to click an edit button to be redirected to the meta form of the original file and change the default values in there.
I have observed that many editors don't click the edit button in this situation but instead tend to "overwrite" non-existing meta information. And keep this behaviour for relations as well (only overwrite, never set a default value).
How can we improve UI/UX to encourage filling out the information of the original file first instead of always overwriting it only?

First idea: Shouldnt it be possible to display the "Edit Metadata of this file" button already before the "Save" action is called? If no: Then the fields to overwrite the non-existing default fields should be removed in this view state.
Second idea: The form apparently detects missing default values. In this case it should be possible to add a logic to either remove the overwrite fields and repeat the button link "Edit Metadata of this file" or provide an option to use the given inpout values as new default values instead of overwriting empty fields.

would it be possible to trigger a notification message on the bottom right side?
(Like the one to reload the filelist when you add a file on the filelist page)
the message could have an action button to directly edit the file metadata
(don't know if technically feasible. To be checked)
