Photographer field in featured media should autopopulate with original photographer

In 2.0, we now have the ability to edit the photographer field for the individual use of a photo, but it defaults to just showing up as "Photographer," which is leading our users to think they have to fill it in each time. Since it's not hooked up to a dropdown menu of staff photographers, errors are being included. It makes sense to have the original photographer name autofill that spot with the option to overwrite if needed.

    Yes, thanks Caytlyn. We can see the original photographer field below and are doing our best to train users to check that location. I think they stumble a bit since that field is so much lower so they seem to be drawn to fill in that field since it's up near the top.

    Hi Martha! Thanks for submitting this idea. We don't have immediate plans to share on timing for this, but in the mean time I just wanted to confirm that you can see the original values from Photo Center that are displayed in a read only section below on the Photo. We'll take a look in the future to see what options we may have for this. Thank you!
