Is there a way to value for files in a single bulk upload or customize the bulk upload component?

[lilac scarab]

What I am trying to solve for is that I have a photo collection that is an upload type. it has a relationship of has one to another collection. the relationship field is in the photo collection.
I want the users to be able to upload many photos, and set the value of of the relationship all of those photos to a specific value. right now the user would have to select the value one by one.

Allowing the user to select a value for one field and having that be set for all files in a single bulk upload, that would be amazing, the work around I can think of is creating a custom component for bulk upload that sets the value of the relationship by readying the first one, But I don’t see a custom component for that.

for anyone that runs into this issue, the workaround/hack i found was to use localstorage and a custom component at the collection level and at the field level.

I’d prefer a real solution
