Description

The customer uploads 1000-1500 (sometimes a lot more) photos to an entry asset field.

The status bar that first pops up is perfect. It shows the customer how long it will take for the images to upload.

HOWEVER, once the status bar goes away, the asset selector box comes up. Since they technically need to select all, they need to wait for “All” of the thumbnails to load, and they need to keep scrolling to the bottom of the dialogue box in order to select all of the assets

Would love a way for the user to easily upload large amounts of assets at once.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the 1,000–1,500-photo asset-field upload flow and inspect the upload status bar and asset selector; done means users can upload and select large batches without waiting for every thumbnail or repeatedly scrolling.
