Remember previously selected license
Open, Needs TriagePublicFeature

Description

Feature summary

Remember the license selected during the previous upload and automatically pre-select it when starting a new upload in Clip2Commons. Contributors should not have to repeatedly choose the same license when uploading multiple files under the same license.

Use case(s)

  1. Upload a file using Clip2Commons.
  2. Select a license other than the default (for example, CC BY 4.0).
  3. Complete the upload.
  4. Start uploading another file.

Currently, the license selector always resets to the default license (CC BY-SA 4.0). Contributors uploading multiple files under the same license must manually select the desired license every time, making repetitive uploads slower and less convenient.

Benefits

  • Reduces repetitive manual input for contributors uploading multiple files.
  • Improves the overall upload workflow and user experience.
  • Speeds up batch uploads where the same license is used repeatedly.
  • Aligns with user expectations by remembering the most recently selected preference during the current browsing session or across sessions.

Hello! I am a new contributor and I would like to work on this task.

I would like to claim this task as my first contribution to Clip2Commons. I will first understand the existing license selection workflow and then implement the feature to remember and pre-select the previously selected license while ensuring the current behavior is preserved when no previous selection exists.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or guidelines before I begin.

Thank you!
