Anyhow, the topic is still unsolved and I would really appreciate to get a solution for this.
Ctrl-D without a (usable) entry in {identifiers} is a crap shoot. This applies to Single or Bulk modes.

2 ways to cherry pick metadata

If the Identifier is good
Ctrl-D along with Review Results button, lets you keep the existing fields (or cover) by using the copy-arrows in between old and proposed, OR simply reject what you see. You also get to edit the Left side (but not force it blank if there was data on the Right)

If you are not sure what those identifiers will return ( there is a lot of poor data out there)
Use the Get Metadata from the BULK Metadata Edit screen and step through the titles, cherry picking which return to use.
You can use the Mouse to copy things like comments to the clipboard, then select a different result and paste from the clipboard


There is no Magic way to get clean metadata. We can't even agree on what is Clean
