Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm a bit frustrated when I want to use Check Dump to add or change information on a given dump, because I always have to type everything again, making the information more prone to error when I feel I already know the information I'm typing
At the same time, another issue I have is, when cancelling the operation, all the info is gone, except for autofilled info from Redump

Describe the solution you'd like
Basically, every time a user starts a Check Dump procedure, the info is already filled with the previous submission info (except in the cases where there isn't, like when checking a PS3 CFW dump for the first time). Next to each field (at least for the most common ones, I don't know if it would be overwhelming to see it in every field) there would be a button to autofill/replace current text according to previous submission info file.
If the user had signed in with their Redump credentials and there was a Redump page match, there would be an extra button to copy the info from the Redump page at the user's will, instead of replacing everything in some of the fields

Describe alternatives you've considered
I thought of adding this button kinda like a checkbox in the fields, when checking it it would replace the field with the info taken from Redump and locking editing. However, it would be better if the user could edit that field from that point onwards, instead of locking it. Even still, it would be even better if the user could still get the info from the previous submission info file
Another idea I had which was way simpler was to just add an option in the Options menu to allow the user to either retrieve the info from Redump or from the previous submission file

Additional context

I hope that you could understand my problem from my explanation, even if it's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. I think it could be a quality-of-life improvement to the usability of this operation and the software as a whole 🫶
