Title attribute problem with images added inside a text block

Hello,

Basically, our desire is to be able to easily add/edit the title (and alt) attributes to images with a minimum amount of effort.
Ideally we would like to edit these properties on all images only once in the WP Media Library and see them reflected on all pages.
This seems to work well when adding images as Image Elements in the layout builder. Title and alt texts are picked up from the image in the media library.
However, when adding an image by the “Add Media” button inside of a text block, I have found that the image is disconnected from the media library and no longer reflects image and alt texts from the library. Alt text is copied, but I have to manually add the title text to the field “Image title attribute” under the Advanced options section when editing the image details. For some reason this field does not populate automatically with the title text from the media library.

1. Am I right in thinking that images added through “Add Media” inside a text block become disconnected, i.e. the image title in the library is now overriden by whatever is in the field “Image title attribute” of this particular image instance in this particular text block?

2. When adding the image to the text block with “Add Media”, the add media popup is displayed, together with an image details pane to the right. Here the title and alt texts from the library are displayed. However the title text is not inserted to “Image title attribute” under advanced options when accepting the dialog. Is this a bug or working as intended? Is it possible to make it auto insert?

3. Do you know any better way to make all images, regardless if they are inserted into a text block or not, always reflect the title and alt texts from the WP Media Library?

We are relatively new to WP and Enfold and find the title text handling confusing. Ideally we want to make the process of adding image title texts to (many) inserted images as clear and straightforward as possible to our customer. At the moment the process seems quite convoluted and non-uniform unless I’m missing something.

Regards,
Mattias
