With the enactment of the EAA legislation on Accessibility fast approaching, is there a way to have bulk download and upload functionality for alt text and captions fields in Stison? Rather than adding the text title-by-title in Stison, we are looking at using technologies to generate the text outside of Stison. Therefore it would save a huge amount of time if we could bulk upload them. A download option would also be great to see check for any missing data.

Thanks

  Good afternoon Robin Virgin,

  Thank you for raising this request. The process of creating a way of uploading data against assets is a bit of a long road to go down, so in the meantime, are you intending to embed this metadata in your images? If that is the case, we have the ability to pull the metadata from an asset, which will then be stored in eg the 'Alt text' and 'Caption' fields in Stison, and sent in your Onix. 

  Is this for your cover images, or for all of your images eg covers, contributor photos, spreads etc?

  Best wishes,

  Sophie
