When using the copy/move file feature, provide the ability to enter metadata for the file in the destination library
Hey there,
we have staff who are constantly moving files from one document library to another. We'd love the ability for users to enter metadata for the file for the destination library before the file is copied or moved to that location.
This would save our staff a lot of time copying the file, and then having to go to the destination to enter the additional metadata required.

Setting default metadata for the DocLib at the folder level helps, or using Document Sets to enforce metadata inheritance, but both are tricky to set up if you don't know where to look/don't have Site Admin permissions, and it takes effect only when a new file is created or uploaded, not when a file is moved from folder to folder. Metadata update should trigger whenever a file is moved or created in a new location (folder, document set or library)

Use flow to accomplish this

If copying/moving a file from the source library to the destination library, and a file with the same name already exists in the destination library, it would be great if the user has options regarding which metadata to retain if the user chooses to overwrite the destination file:
* Inherit destination metadata
* Overwrite destination metadata (seems to be only current option?)
* Merge metadata? (for each clash, choose which value to keep) -
