Hello,
When inserting a document via drag-drop into a library, is it possible to fill a library field automatically with metadata according to the view the users is currently using for uploading files?

    There are certain scenarios you can auto-fill metadata for new uploaded documents (via drag-drop or not):

    1. You have a column with Default value set, all uploaded documents will be automatically assigned with the value immediately.
    2. You have a flow attached to this library to update properties for the documents. The metadate will be assigned after the flow finishes running.
