TYPO3 Core

When adding new images or files, most authors I know do the upload within the content element. And there a great feature of FAL (store meta data assigned to the file, used everywhere the file is placed), lacks a feature because editing the global meta data is only possible within the Filelist module.

So I would suggest to add an option to be able to replace the default value defined in the Filelist module. Ideal would be if the "replace option" would be checked automatically on new files or on those having no meta data.

If this is not possible or not wished, an alternative would be to have a link that opens the Filelist edit mask of that file.
