Well thank you for asking. It’s beyond rare to be able to interact with the developer of a piece of software.
Yea there’s a couple of ways to go about it. But having the ability to pull the caption info can really cut down on time when you have a gallery of many images.
I do not change the caption in the image when it comes to being in a gallery I like to pull the iptc. The copy editor would actually edit the caption info itself in the media library
If I need to use the image twice we would reupload the image. That way we don’t mess with what has already been done in the iptc.
Being able to pull the credit is important too.
To be honest in my layouts I actually have students write captions that aren’t the same as what is in the media library that way editors can add more information to a story.
So I guess it’s really centered around pulling for galleries.
