Unfortunatley this has not been implemented yet in version PP 5.62. I have the same opionion about the necessity of this extra code you provided above. This works by the way also now in 5.62.

But you have to be fair, if a user is asking for this. No matter what the purpose of a feature shall be, it has to be implemented logically. So the users of a photo gallery can handle it as it appears how it has to be handled.

If there is a field on the first screen for keywords and this field looks the same way like the other fields, then it is just logical that a user will expect the same way of passing the input along to the second screen as it is the case with the other fields. You have done it right with the appearance of optional fileds. These are just displaying in the second screen. So no rsik of confusion.

It does not matter whether this is the purpose of this field. It is just a question of how much a user shall be confused or not. It is called usability.

So the proposition of Cellarius is totally logical.

If you do not want to pass it along, just delete the field on the first screen in the download file of PP. If you want to pass it along, then do so by implementing this code in the downloadfile asap. But to leave it like it is now, makes no sense in terms of usability of the software.

Everything else is just a waste of time discussing this.
