Request: Ability to create empty collections

The collections CRUD interface has some rough edges. For example, it’s difficult to just create a collection directly, such as an empty collection. You currently have to select at least one media item to add to the collection.

Can we please add a simple create button to create collections, for users who want to organize collections even before the videos are available?

There is a workaround to this…

Create a collection with 1 item, then remove that item from the collection and it will remain on the system with 0 items associated.

That’s an ugly workaround and it’s also broken. That collection fails to appear in the autocomplete dropdown menu.

Apparently so!
