Adding URL presets/templates

Hi CLZ team,

I’d like to suggest adding URL presets/templates or the option to set a default value for the Description field when adding URLs.

I regularly add Discogs links to my records, and each time I have to manually type (or select from previous entries/paste) “Discogs” in the Description field.

This gets repetitive when adding approx 2.000 entries.

It would be great if we could:

  • Define a default description (e.g., always “Discogs”), or

  • Create presets (e.g., “Discogs”, “Wikipedia”, etc.) that auto-fill the Description field when selected

This would speed up data entry and improve consistency across collections.

Thanks for considering!

I can understand where you’re coming from, and I will take note of your suggestion, but I get the feeling it might be overkill for that screen. For most links it should generate a title automatically, based on what our system finds on that URL. Some websites block this.

It feels like an elaborate settings thing for the link tab I think. But nevertheless, noted.

Workaround: I have a Streak Deck with fysical buttons. It can also type into a field when I press a button. So you can program your own text. You could use something like this to enter a text. I think there are also cheap chinese keyboard buttons (3 or 6 buttons) you can use to do this.

I think it is also possible with software only, but I think it will never work as good or easy as fysical buttons.

I can have this on the Windows clibpoard and just paste as well.

But then I have to remove the «Just a moment…» text automatically appearing.

I am using CLZ Web by the way for this.

A setting like «URL Desription» where you can enter any text you would like to be prefilled as your chosen default text would solve this.
