Add «Clear All» option for relational fields and asset fields

[alexanderloewe]

Description

In Craft 5 the small «×» icon for quickly removing individual entries or assets from relational fields has been removed. Now, authors need to click the three-dot menu → remove for each item.

This is manageable for a few items, but if a field contains many values (e.g. 50 related entries or 50 files), clearing the field becomes very time-consuming and frustrating from a UX perspective.

Feature request

Add a dropdown or contextual option to relational fields and asset fields that allows authors to clear the entire field at once. This would enable:

• Quickly resetting a field to empty state
• Easier bulk updates (removing all items to re-populate from scratch)
• Less repetitive clicking, better authoring experience

I attached a quick mockup of how this could be implemented (a simple «Empty Field» action in the field menu).

This would restore the efficiency authors had before, while still keeping the cleaner UI of Craft 5.

You can quickly remove all related elements by clicking on the first element, then Shift-clicking on the last one, then pressing “Remove” from any of the selected elements’ action menus.
