Description

What is the feature you'd like to have?
When importing files into a project, add the ability to add a note and a metadata key value at the time the files are being imported and have it applied to all of the files being imported.

Is your feature request related to a problem?
This would allow me to group files together without relying on folders; as I'm using a plugin that sorts files into folders based upon other criteria.

Are any alternative solutions acceptable?

Research direction

Start by locating the project file-import flow and the existing note and metadata mechanisms, then determine how bulk values should be supplied. Done means importing multiple files applies the requested note and metadata key/value to every imported file.
