Hi Harvey,
Thanks for the post!
When you upload images into Article Manager you're not really able to add any additional fields that can be filled in.
That said, there are a few fields by default that you're filling in already that may work for you for this "alt" tag. For example, if you'd like you could have the image caption ($file.caption$) displayed as part of the alt tag, or you could use the title of the image ($file.title$).
Do either of these sound like they'd work for you? If so, just let me know and I'll outline for you how you can make this change to your template files.
I hope this helps!

Hi Harvey,
Thanks for posting!
If you'd like to have "alt" tags display the name of the image you've uploaded this depends on the way that images are being uploaded to your site. I'd also recommend making a backup of any files you modify.
You'll find the default "embeddedMedia" template here:
/templates/common/embeddedMedia.html
This is what is used by default for any images that are added to a field using ***imageX***. In this file you can just modify all of the <img src> tags to ensure they have this variable:
alt="$file.title:htmlEncoded$"
Also, you'll want to check your /templates/articlePages/articlePage.html template file and see if there's anywhere in this file that you're outputting the images (via a templatecell called either "pageDefault.embeddedMedia" or "article.FIELDNAME") and again, you'll modify the image tags to add the above "alt" value.
I hope this helps!
