Can't create multiple subclips through drag and drop

[BibbidiBobbidiBob]

Issue

I'm not able to create multiple subclips from the selected clips in the timeline using ctrl+drag/drop to the project panel. It only creates one subclip.

Steps to reproduce

• select multiple clips in the timeline
• ctrl+drag it to the project panel
• confirm the popup for subclip creation (already only for one subclip)
• only this one subclip is created

Expected result

All selected clips should be created as subclips as a batch (with the default naming)

Actual result

Only one subclip is created

Adobe Premiere Pro version

25.5.0 (Build 13)

Operating system

Win 10

I don't believe that this is a bug but how Premiere functions normally that it only creates one subclip at a time.

Could be the case but normally I expect all selected options being affects when having a drag and drop option available.
How should I know which ones of the objects is the chosen one otherwise?

Now this could be a discussion about UX best practices BUT there's where another unexpected behavior occurs:

When multiple clips are selected only the clip is created as subclip, that has the earliest starting point. It doesn't matter which one I drag and drop, it's always the clip with the earlier starting point.

If Premiere just ignored the selection, fine that's a missing feature but that it selects the wrong clip is a bug in my definition.

To make this more clear:

• there are three clips of the same video (clip 1 starting at frame 0, clip 2 starting at frame 500, clip 3 starting at frame 800) -> chronological ordered
• I select all three of them and ctrl+drag/drop clip 3 to the project window.
  • Which one should be converted as a subclip now, assuming that batch creation isn't a thing.
  • Most logical answer: the clip that was dragged to the project window.
• the subclip of clip 1 is created, not clip 3

The explaination could be: of all selected clips, always the first in the timeline is recognized.

But it's even stranger:

• same three clips are in the timeline but I change them around: clip 3, clip 1, clip 2
• all are selected and I ctrl+drag/drop clip 3 to the project window (now the first one in the timeline and the one I drag)
  • Which one is created as a subclip?
  • Most logical as it is dragged: clip 3. Logical if only the first selected clip in the timeline is recognized: also clip 3
• the subclip still is the one of clip 1

All in all: subclip creation through drag and drop acts unpredictable in certain situations and feels incomplete.

There are several possible solutions to fix this:

1. just recognize the dragged clip during such situations (fixes the bug/illogical behaviour)
2. show an error "too many clips are selected for subclip creation" or don't create any subclip at all (fixes the bug/illogical behaviour)
3. introduce a batch subclip creation feature (fixes the bug/illogical behaviour while introducing a new quality-of-life feature)
