Mass change: Indicator for already filled fields

Users want a clear indicator in the bulk editing view that flags when selected assets already have existing values in a field, so they can avoid accidentally overwriting content during mass changes. Problem / Pain: When editing multiple assets at once, all fields in the bulk editing view appear empty — regardless of whether any of the selected assets actually contain existing values. This means users have no way of knowing, before making a change, whether they are adding new information or overwriting content that is already there. This lack of transparency increases the risk of accidental data loss, particularly when working with large selections. Impact / Benefit: A simple indicator showing that a field is partially filled across the current selection would give users the context they need to make more informed decisions during bulk edits. It would reduce the risk of unintentionally overwriting existing content, increase confidence when working with large asset selections, and make bulk editing a more transparent and reliable process overall. Example use case: A DAM manager selects 250 images for bulk tagging. Some of these assets already have keywords, others do not. Before adding new tags, they want to know which fields are already partially filled — so they can decide whether to add to existing values or proceed with caution. A "partially filled" indicator on the relevant fields provides exactly this context at a glance. Idea source: Customer Feedback Voting note: Vote for this idea if this need is relevant to you as well.
