Ability to add images to the CMS from the Asset Manager

When adding images to a collection within the designer, you have the ability to choose existing images which have already been uploaded via the asset manager in addition to the current ability to upload new images.

    Make it a priority! I clearly don't understand why this isn't possible, especially when we organize our Assets well, with alt text and so on!

    Man do we need this badly. Please, please create a crosswalk between the CMS and the Web Project Asset Library.

    Please, this is getting embarrassing.

    This is a huge limitation to every project. And totaly inefficient.

    Absolute insanity this isn't a thing. Not to mention that 'compress assets' in the CMS doesn't even seem to properly do just that on CMS images (separate from Asset images). Unbelievable.

    This is a massive frustration. To the point of failure for external projects. Eight years past so, I don't have any hope it will be fixed now. Perhaps it is driving extra revenue from storage capacity upgrades...

    @Ryan Davidson, you can specify an Alt tag in the template designer. Click the little cog when you have the image selected and an Alt Text dropdown lets you choose another CMS data field as the text source. So just make an Alt text field.

    I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS FEATURE HASN'T BEEN DEVELOPED YET

    seems like a waste of space having to upload images twice!

    This is so obvious in other CMS,

    why would a featured image need to be reuploaded so many times?
