Hi there,
We're seeking an ability to bulk edit multiple caption fields of photos within a gallery.
This is separate from the action currently available of when the user is uploading multiple images and can copy the text to all images, as this takes place during the initial upload. This new feature looks to have the capability to edit multiple captions at a time with the gallery creation process.
Currently, the editor will need to open the gallery, scroll down to the image, click the pencil icon, edit the text, click Save, and then proceed to the next image. It would be great if those extra steps could be eliminated, and the user could either have a "copy all" button to edit all the captions at once, or at least no longer have to click the pencil, edit and save for each caption update.
I believe this request is different from ANG-I-17 , which focuses on lightboxes. If it's the same, please merge or close out this Arc Idea.
Thanks!

Correct, just like "override title & caption"
Expanding upon this - would be great to have an option to maintain the image file name as the caption when uploaded to a Gallery.
Thanks for the feedback Brian! And if I may ask another question: you'd want these bulk caption edits to be treated like "override title & caption", where it does not affect the caption of the original image, but is a caption override specifically for the images in a gallery?
Lawrence, yes, sometimes we repeat caption fields or parts of caption fields across a gallery. Whether the experience of editing captions within a gallery becomes like the Bulk Edit function with individual images (bulk-edit attached) or a new experience similar to the new Override Title & Caption but without having to load each image separately, have all captions editable within that gallery editor (gallery_new_edit attached)
Thanks for the feedback! This is maybe a silly question, but just to confirm, are you often using the same text value in the caption field for every (or multiple) images in a gallery?
Completely agree with this request!
I dream of a day I can click a button within a Gallery Edit screen that loads all of the photos in that gallery in the existing editor, allowing for rapid bulk edits.
