Possible to have required metadata properties for Media?
Yes, indeed, it works undesirable IMO as well. If you want to edit the image (which probably not many would do), then you do get the required property error, but when you drag & drop, nothing is displayed. I think you should report this as a bug or improvement, but I would expect a notification during the upload (but this would be tricky - I am not sure how it should look like from user perspective).
If you are using media mostly as a property on the page (as opposed to using it from Tiny), then you can workaround this by making a so-called local block that would contain an image and alt-text (or description) that is required. See SiteLogotypeBlock in AlloyTech templates.

Thanks for your reply!
I'm glad to se that I wasn't missing something obvious.
We wanted this for documents where the user should need to add a title when uploading them.

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to make it mandatory/optional to add metadata when uploading media?
For example: We have a Description property in the GenericMedia model but when media is added no input form is presented for this property.
The Description property is possible to edit after the media is added but no one ever does. :-(
