I'm working on adding lyrics of an album (Ponnona Tharangini Vol 4) which has 3 music directors and 3 lyricists (total 6 fields) common to all 8 songs within the album. While adding each lyrics the UI is forcing to specify all those 6 fields repeatedly, making me fill in those fields 48 times in total. This is the most tiring way of data entry which I'm positive other contributors are experiencing as well.
If there were one of the following options available to use it would make data entry more optimal. Pls discuss/pass on these suggestions to the tech team for usability improvements.
Currently the UI is presented on lyrics-first mode, meaning "add a song lyrics and pick an existing album to which the song belongs to". Instead, if there was an option which allows a song/lyrics to be added under an existing album, then most common information can be carried over which allows contributors to fill in "song specific details" alone without repeating "album details" every time a new lyrics page is created.
Allow contributors to "clone" an existing song page so that details are pre-filled and contributors can modify or remove unwanted fields before "Saving As" a new song.
PS: If we dont want to expose this feature to everyone, it can restricted to power users (active contributors) only.
