Allow embedding multiple Media Entities using the Media Library in CKEditor

Created on 20 April 2020, over 4 years ago

Problem/Motivation

It is not possible to embed multiple media items into CKEditor in one shot; you can only embed one at a time. This was deliberately done for multiple reasons. Here are a few extracted from comment #6:

  • If we select multiple items to embed at once, what order should they be embedded in?
  • How would people be able to re-order them?
  • How would we make this accessible?
  • How would we make it usable and intuitive to users?

Proposed resolution

Unclear, but if we want this feature, it's going to need answers to the above questions, plus any others that come up in the process of building this.
