You can bulk edit multiple items at once by Shift Clicking between two books on the library page, and clear out all of specific fields that way. I'm not sure why you would want to clear all metadata, since that would also include things like the title.

Often I dont like the metadata that came with it.
In this case (with a button that clears) it could leave the title and/or author and clear the rest.

My normal work flow is clear everything but title/author, past in the ASIN and quick match.

Is there a reason why you do not disable the loading of the metadata at all then?

(Ofc such feature requests makes still sense), but in your case it sounds more easy to just not load the metadata at all
