P:Import Photos and Videos should default focus to target collection if add to collection is checked

in Lightroom Classic when you Import Photos and Video if a target collection is set when I check the Add to Collection box it would be helpful to immediately highlight and put focus on the target collection.  A not uncommon workflow is to create a Collection and then kickoff Import.  It would make sense if a target collection is set to have the focus on it by default rather than some random collection you last imported into.  I use the Scott Kelby SLIM system workflow and so before working on each project in LrC I create a Collection Set and inside collections Full Shoot, Picks, and Selects and set Full Shoot as the target collection to make it easier to pick in the tree during import.  If Import selected the target collection when I picked the Add to Collection checkbox it would make this a little faster and less likely to accidently pick the wrong collection when doing the import.
