In reviewing #2994702: Allow editors to alter embed-specific metadata, as well as `data-align` and `data-caption` → , the UX team had this feedback:
...the UX of the "Caption" checkbox is strange. However, it is a pre-existing pattern in core; the image button does it too, exactly the same way. We all felt it would be best for them to behave consistently. So let's open a follow-up issue to improve the UX of the captioning in the embed and image dialogs in the same go -- ideally, checking the "Caption" box would expose a text field with the caption in it, and it would be live-editable in the editor.
We need to figure out what we want to do here, then fix it everywhere.
Determine what a better UX would be, then implement that in the drupalimage and drupalmedia CKEditor plugins.
The next step is to implement the proposed solution: checking the "Caption" box would expose a text field with the caption in it, and it would be live-editable in the editor. In other words, allow users to set the caption in either the dialog or the editor, and ensure that both are synchronized.
Yes.
