"Yes to all" on uploading repeated images in media area [edited title]

✋ Feature Requests
1

Hello!

I have a client that has been facing a really annoying issue or behaviour.

The client usually uploads batches of data that most of the times contain images already existing on Dato, which is perfect and actually the main reason we choose the platform, for resolving duplication so nicely. The thing is, if I upload 20 images already existing, I will have to click 20 times on the “Skip upload, use existing asset button”. That is quite frustrating. Is there a way to have a “Yes to all” Button or a checkmark to apply the same configuration to all uploads?

Thanks

Hey @joao,

Thanks for the suggestion! This is a good idea. I’ll convert this into a feature request for you (please vote on it).

It’s not currently possible in the UI. If you’re using the CMA instead (like a custom bulk uploader), you can use the skpCreationifAlreadyExists: true param: https://www.datocms.com/docs/content-management-api/resources/upload/create#nodejs-create-an-upload-from-a-local-file

But I agree that it makes sense to have this in UI’s own media upload area. Thanks for the idea!

Thanks @roger!

Yeah, I’m just using the client and the UI. It would be great to have that on the platform.

Hello everyone, happy new year!

Just wanted to check on this, if there is any updates o this, since we’ve received more feedbacks from clients saying this is really a pain point and it’s something we cannot fix using a plugin (I guess). Also tagging @m.balocco here since it might be relevant to the UX guy :slight_smile:

Thanks once more!
