When an editor inserts an asset, the Finder payload already carries rich metadata (description, custom metadata values by field label, legal creator/author) - but the widget starts with empty text fields, so editors retype information that Frontify already knows.
Prefill the editable caption/description from the Finder payload at insertion time (configurable composition; parts collapse when missing; empty when no metadata). The editor keeps full control - it is only a prefill of an editable field.
We run a variant of this in production as a composer patch against 3.0.1 (Drupal 11, PHP 8.4); our exact caption format is site-specific, so the contribution would make the composition configurable. Happy to open an MR if the approach is agreed.

Comment #2
julien commentedAttaching the patch we carry in production (against 3.0.1; applies on top of the caption column from #3611095). Our composition is hard-coded - the MR would make it configurable.
