The "copy metadata" feature currently ignores custom fields added through upload campaigns like WLM. It should dynamically add those fields to the checkboxes (default-checked) when a campaign is loaded, and copy them if the user requests it.

When I used UploadWizard all the checkboxes were default-checked, so could you explain a bit what you want to see here?
Nischay, this refers to custom fields added by the campaign feature; see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UploadWizard/Campaigns
No. These are different "custom tags". Bug 39927 describes custom licensing templates like {{PD-Art}} being entered in the license selection workflow on a per-image basis and not correctly applied across a batch. This bug describes extra fields added via an upload campaign (such as a monument identifier number for WLM) not being copied.
Can we have a list of all such "custom tags" possible?
I can only see idField and idField2 atm.
Reproduced as well.
Since the changes to the Campaigns, there can be as many fields as defined in the JSON configuration.
I filed bug 53637 which is a duplicate.
Info from that bug:
I did the following actions
-I upload multiple images with for example the custom
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaign:wlm-ua campaign on Commons.
-After using the link
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UploadWizard&campaign=wlm-ua&uselang=en
and selecting 2 images I add information in the custom field for monument
identifiers. When I use the option "Copy information to all uploads below ..."
the information from the custom field isn't copied. All other information is
copied.
This seems like a bug to me.
I am attempting/going to author a patch that will copy this information if the "Copy other information" checkbox is checked. I am not sure whether it is a good idea adding a 7th checkbox ("Copy campaign information"); if this is really wanted, it can be added later (I will make sure that it will be easy doing so.)
A checkbox for each single campaign field is, however, not possible unless the campaign scheme also defines a label that could be used by this checkbox.
"Copy " + fields[n].label does not work well (often longish text, starts with upper case letter, grammar, ...).
